Blood Donation Campaign

Under the direction of Student Affairs, the Department of Health & Counseling with the coordination of Dr. Eman Al Sheik, Director of Laboratories and Blood Bank at King Fahd Hospital launched the Blood Donation Campaign on March 1 for the male campus and March 2 for the female campus. A team of 13 members comprised of doctors and nurses came to support this campaign. “A Drop of Blood, Save Thousand of Life” is the essence of this campaign. Many students, faculty, and staff (47 male & 37 female) turned up for the four-hour blood campaign that took place in the clinic and the team of staff nurses checked the donors’ weight, height, and blood pressure. The donors were given light refreshment, water, and juices.

The Blood Donation Campaign served as part of the university continuous effort to assist the larger community of the Eastern Province in replenishing the stock levels and help the sick.

Dr. Mohammad Qadri, PMU clinic manager noted that the response to the blood donation campaign was great and with no significant problems, and it was an encouraging sign for us.

Moreover, the Division of Student Affairs along with the Health & Counseling Department thanked the effort of King Fahd Hospital for aiding PMU in this campaign.
