Mobile Blood Donation Unit to Operate in Eslamabad-e Gharb on Sunday

TEHRAN, Nov 1 (OPA) — The Kermanshah Blood Transfusion Organization announced that a mobile collection team will be stationed in Eslamabad-e Gharb on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026. The unit will operate from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. behind Imam Khomeini Hospital to facilitate donations from local residents.

Maryam Mirzadeh, director-general of the Kermanshah Blood Transfusion Organization, stated that the program is designed to maintain a steady supply of safe blood products for patients in need. She encouraged eligible citizens to participate in the drive, noting that public cooperation is essential for sustaining regional medical inventories.

Mobile units serve as a primary mechanism for blood collection in areas without permanent facilities. These deployments are scheduled periodically to ensure that hospitals remain stocked with necessary blood components, including red blood cells and plasma, which are required for emergency surgeries and chronic treatments.

Health officials in Kermanshah continue to emphasize the necessity of consistent donation cycles to prevent shortages. Residents are advised to bring valid identification to the site behind Imam Khomeini Hospital during the four-hour window to complete the donation process.
