As part of its humanitarian role and community responsibility, Minia University has launched a series of blood donation campaigns across its faculties, in cooperation with the Minia Regional Blood Transfusion Center and the General Administration for Student Welfare.

University President Dr. Essam Farahat emphasized that the initiative reflects the university’s commitment to serving the community and promoting humanitarian values among students, noting that blood donation is a national duty that helps save patients’ lives. The campaigns witnessed a strong turnout from students, faculty members, and staff.

Specialized medical teams conducted health checks for donors—including vital signs, hemoglobin levels, and screenings for blood-borne diseases—ensuring donor safety.

Vice President for Education and Student Affairs, Dr. Mostafa Mahmoud, highlighted that student participation reflects their awareness of the importance of volunteer work. The campaigns were organized as part of the university’s plan to enhance students’ life skills and community engagement.

Organizers also educated participants on the health benefits of blood donation, including stimulating bone marrow to produce new blood cells, improving circulation, and enabling early detection of potential health issues.
