DAMASCUS, Feb.8, (ST)-Today, under the slogan (Share the Challenge with Us and Save a Person’s Life), the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC), in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and the Blood Bank Administration, and local community, launched a blood donation campaign in a number of governorates, with the aim of ensuring a sufficient supply of safe blood.

The head of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, Dr. Hazem Baqla, explained in a statement to SANA that the campaign is a humanitarian initiative that supports thalassemia patients and emergency surgery patients to contribute to solving the problem of the severe shortage of blood quantities by heading to areas that do not have blood banks or are far from them to reduce the burden of transportation for those wishing to donate.

For his part, director of the Damascus Blood Bank, Dr. Mohammad Ali Alusi, said that the campaign aims to reach 14,000 donors before the month of Ramadan.

Abdul Moein Al-Rahhal, one of the donors from the town of Khattab, declared: “Participation in the campaign is a national and humanitarian duty, because it contributes to saving the lives of people who are in dire need of blood transfusions.”

The campaign is being launched in the governorates of Damascus and its countryside, Aleppo, Homs, Hama, Tartous, Lattakia, Deir Ez-Zour, Sweida, and Daraa, through 35 centers, medical points, and a mobile clinic affiliated with the organization, and will continue throughout the month of February.
