Blood Donation Camp by TUF Rehabilitation Society in Collaboration with Red Crescent

A successful blood donation camp was conducted by the TUF Rehabilitation Society in collaboration with the Red Crescent. This initiative was taken to collect blood specifically for Thalassemia patients who are dependent on regular blood transfusions for survival. The camp not only aimed to support these patients but also to promote a culture of volunteerism and health awareness among university students.

The main objective of the event was to support Thalassemia patients by collecting healthy blood donations from volunteers. Another key goal was to educate students about the significance of blood donation, debunk myths surrounding the process, and encourage regular participation in such humanitarian activities. By involving students, the event also served as a platform to engage youth in socially responsible actions.

The team included doctors, nurses, and certified phlebotomists, all fully equipped with the necessary tools and supplies. The registration process was carried out in an organized manner, followed by a detailed medical screening of each student. The screening involved multiple assessments, including hemoglobin (Hb) level testing, blood pressure and pulse rate measurement, body weight checking, and a review of medical history. These tests were mandatory to ensure donor eligibility and the safety of both donor and recipient.

The student’s response was highly encouraging, reflecting a strong sense of empathy and civic responsibility. The key statistics from the camp are as follows:

• Total number of student volunteers registered: 109
• Number of students found medically unfit to donate: 15
• Total number of successful blood donors: 94
• Percentage of successful donors: Approximately 86%
• Blood units collected: 94 units (1 unit per donor)

This outstanding participation not only made the event a success but also demonstrated the willingness of students to contribute to life-saving causes. The blood donation camp organized on May 14, 2025, stands as a milestone in the university’s journey toward active community engagement. It not only met its medical and humanitarian goals but also strengthened the bond between students and society. The event proved that when youth unite for a noble cause, they can create a powerful impact. The Tuf Rehabilitation Society and all participants are to be commended for their dedication and service.
