Supporting National Health Priorities
Through this latest blood donation drive, KAUST actively supports Saudi Arabia’s strategic objective of achieving 100 percent voluntary blood donations nationwide. In partnership with the Ministry of Health and IMC and aligned with the national campaign launched by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, this initiative underscores the power of collective action in saving lives and ensuring safe, sustainable blood supplies across the Kingdom.
Building on the success of this campaign, KAUST looks forward to organizing future blood donation drives with broader participation, further strengthening its collaboration with national health authorities and its positive impact on society.
