- Aim of campaign is to raise awareness of the importance of voluntary donations so that the Kingdom can become self sufficient in supplies of blood
RIYADH: 海角直播鈥檚 Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman donated blood on Thursday as part of an annual national campaign to encourage more donors.
The initiative reflects his patronage of humanitarian projects, and a desire to encourage all parts of Saudi society to participate in their communities, in this particular case by supporting national efforts in the health sector by cultivating a culture of voluntary donation, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of the importance of voluntary donations so that the Kingdom can become self sufficient in supplies of blood and related products, thereby ensuring the availability of safe and sustainable stocks that meet the needs of the population. More than 800,000 donors gave blood in 2024, officials said.
The crown prince and King Salman have actively encouraged several health related initiatives in recent years, including setting examples by receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, and enrolling in the national organ-donation program.
