The Qassim Health Cluster has donated 382 units of blood to hospitals in Makkah in preparation for the Hajj season of 2023. The blood donation campaign, named Donating Blood for Pilgrims, lasted for two weeks and was held at public and private sector departments in the region.
The blood donations came from volunteers who gave different blood groups as part of efforts to increase stocks at blood banks in Makkah’s hospitals and medical centers during the upcoming Hajj season. The Health Cluster organized the campaign to ensure that hospitals have enough critical resources to care for the thousands of pilgrims who visit the area during Hajj.
According to the Health Cluster, the success of the campaign means that hospitals are now better equipped to cope with the potential increase in demand for blood during the Hajj period. The Qassim Health Cluster is a healthcare provider dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of the people in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia.
The blood donation campaign was widely supported by the community, and many people turned up to donate their blood. The Health Cluster thanked everyone who donated, describing the response as overwhelming and commended the volunteers for their generosity and commitment to the cause.
Blood banks are critical to ensuring that hospitals can provide life-saving support when needed. The Qassim Health Cluster’s donation is a timely gesture that will enable hospitals to be better prepared to provide care during the Hajj season, which typically sees a large influx of people visiting Makkah.
The Qassim Health Cluster’s donation is an example of how people can come together to make a difference and help save lives. The campaign is an excellent initiative that will undoubtedly benefit the community and provide much-needed support to hospitals and medical centers in Makkah during the upcoming Hajj season.
