Employees of Ministry participated in blood donation campaign

A traditional voluntary blood donation campaign for people suffering from blood disorders was organized today by the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies at the initiative of the Azerbaijan Thalassemia Federation.
The ministry’s employees took an active part in the campaign. Hematologists of the Central Blood Bank conducted donors’ health assessment and anemia testing and then the volunteers who meet the medical requirements were allowed to take part in the campaign. Thus, donors participating in the campaign supported the increase in blood supply for people suffering from blood diseases.
Note that the blood samples collected after the examination will be used to treat patients with hemophilia and thalassemia, as well as those who need a blood transfusion.
It should be noted that blood donation not only saves lives, but also has a positive effect on the blood donor’s own immune system. Blood donation, along with cardiovascular diseases, also reduces the risk of diabetes.
