The Director of the Hospital, Florence Zeitouni, emphasizing the enormous importance and necessity of abundant blood donation, stated that blood is a living tissue that can not yet be replaced by any drug or chemical or prepared and we only get it from healthy donors. Transfusion of blood and its derivatives saves millions of lives every year.
