Blood Donation at the Ministry of Education

18.02.2014

A Memorandum of Cooperation was signed between LLC “Blood Bank” at Iashvili Children’s Central Hospital and the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia. Within the framework of the abovementioned Minister of Education Tamar Sanikidze and the Ministry staff donated blood for the children (age: 0-8)suffering from leukemia and other severe pathologies. M. Iashvili Central Hospital is the only hospital in Georgia for the treatment of children with leukemia and severe pathologies. These children require components with new blood on a daily basis (aged: 0-8).

Patients’ parents and their relatives remain stressed because of diminishing amount of blood supplies. They have to look for donors. This is the reason why the Ministry signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with the Hospital.

The Ministry shall help children and participate in joint projects. By means of close cooperation with Iahsvili Central Hospital, the Ministry will be able to stay informed on the activities of “Blood Bank” and shall provide necessary conditions in order to carry out appropriate activities.
