Within the campaign the staff of the Central Blood Bank of the Scientific-Research Institute of Hematology and Transfusiology named after B.Eyvazov primarily surveyed citizens who applied to donate blood. Blood was taken from 180 people who applied during a day for voluntary blood donation. The collected blood and medications made of it are used to treat patients with haemophilia and thalassemia, as well as other patients in need of blood.
