BURAIDAH: The central blood bank in Qassim, in cooperation with the Blood Banks Friends Charity, has launched a home blood donation service for people with rare blood types.
The service enables donors with rare blood types to give blood from the comfort of their homes through qualified medical teams operating to the highest standards of quality and safety.
The scheme is expected to improve response times, enhance emergency preparedness and strengthen the strategic reserve of rare blood units.
Last month, the charity organized World Blood Donor Day activities across its centers throughout the Kingdom to raise awareness of blood donation and encourage regular donations to support blood bank needs.
Observed globally each year on June 14, World Blood Donor Day activities included blood donation campaigns, free medical examinations and awareness booths.
The charity highlighted that every blood donation helps save lives, and called on community members to take part in and support the humanitarian mission.
