PESHAWAR: Khyber Medical University (KMU) organised a blood donation camp at its main lawn under the auspices of the Institute of Pathology and Diagnostic Medicine (IPDM) and KMU Hospital and in collaboration with the Regional Blood Centre.

An official communique said the camp witnessed enthusiastic participation from faculty members, hospital consultants, and students.To promote awareness about the importance of voluntary blood donation, a Donor Motivation Session was conducted by the KMU Blood Welfare Society. The session highlighted the life-saving impact of voluntary blood donation and encouraged a culture of compassion and community service among participants.

Before donation, all volunteers underwent a comprehensive pre-donation screening, including assessments of hemoglobin (Hb) levels, weight, height, and medical history to ensure donor safety and eligibility. On-the-spot Hb testing was conducted for students, while a hematologist provided free consultations and valuable advice on maintaining healthy Hb levels.
