Donate Blood, Save Lives: The Critical Role of Blood Donations in Supporting Hemophilia and Thalassemia Patients

 Blood disorders like hemophilia and thalassemia require blood transfusions occasionally to manage symptoms and maintain quality of life. To meet the needs of our patients, we rely on the charity of volunteer blood donors at the Fatimid Foundation. Your blood donation can become a life-saving intervention.

The Need for Blood Donation Services

Pakistan also experiences a huge deficit of volunteer blood donors. However, a yearly need is around 3.6 million units, but only around 2.2 million units are received annually. This deficit is experienced by those with chronic blood diseases who rely on repeated blood transfusions.

How Does Your Blood Donation Help?

Every blood donation can be used to save three lives because the separated components are transfused into several patients. Your donation helps:

• Thalassemia Patients: Transfusions must be administered periodically for the treatment of this inherited illness.

• Hemophilia Patients: Blood transfusion is applied in the prevention and treatment of bleeding.

• Emergency Cases: Operations and injuries usually require blood supplies on an emergency basis.
