Saudi Ministry of Health hosted a ceremony on Wednesday to honour the 700,000 individuals who donated blood last year and to inspire more community members to join similar initiatives. The event, attended by Assistant Minister of Health Mohammed Al-Abdulali, also saw the launch of a unified blood bank system aimed at enhancing the efficiency of blood transfusion services throughout the Kingdom.
This initiative is part of the Health Sector Transformation Program, which focuses on preventive health care, fostering a vibrant society and building a comprehensive, effective and integrated health system in line with the goals of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
Additionally, six partnerships and agreements were signed between the ministry and various companies and institutions to improve blood bank services further and raise awareness about the importance of blood donation.
