The donation was made during a program conducted from 23 to 26 March.<\/p>\n<p>Noting that the program attests to the growing awareness among students of the significance of voluntarily donating blood to save lives, Mr. Hadish Amanauel, director of Adi-Quala High School, called for the expansion of the program to all schools in the sub-zone.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Mehari Abraham, head of voluntary blood donation at the National Blood Transfusion Service, indicated that voluntary blood donation by students is increasing over time and will make a significant contribution to enriching the blood supply of health facilities. He also called on others to follow the noble initiative.<\/p>\n<p>Expressing satisfaction at voluntarily contributing their blood to save lives, the participants in the program expressed readiness to continue the initiative.<\/p>\n<p>Blood donation programs have been crucial in addressing health needs globally, especially in regions with limited medical resources. In Eritrea, voluntary blood donation efforts have gained momentum, particularly among youth, who are increasingly recognizing their role in community health. Initiatives like these not only bolster blood supplies but also foster a culture of altruism and civic responsibility among young people, essential for the nation&#8217;s health infrastructure and emergency response capabilities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Eritrea<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Need to Know In a recent initiative, secondary school students in Adi-Quala sub-zone voluntarily donated 543 units of blood from March 23 to 26.
