In this regard, the government launched a campaign on social media, urging Moroccans to go massively to donate this vital fluid, which has become rare in injection centers. the blood alarmingly.
The need for awareness
Lahcen Fellaq, president of the Al-Amal Association for Cancer Patients in the city of Muhammadiyah (west), said: "The need for blood in Moroccan hospitals is an urgent and daily issue, and this need may be in case of urgency for pregnant women who have experienced childbirth bleeding, or for victims of accidents, especially traffic accidents.
The demand for blood may also be in cases of hematological or other cancerous diseases, or in patients undergoing surgeries in which the rate of bleeding is large."
The speaker, who also works in the field of blood donation, stressed that the daily need in Moroccan hospitals is approximately 1,000 bags of blood, but the efforts of the National Blood Transfusion Center do not meet this demand for several considerations; Among them is the insufficient involvement of the Moroccan citizen in the blood donation system.
Dr. Falaq continued his speech to "Sky News Arabia, saying: "The World Health Organization urges the donation of at least 5 percent of citizens so that there is an adequate stock of blood in blood injection centers during the year, but only 1 percent of Moroccans donate regularly."
He attributed this to the spread of rumors claiming that blood is taken for free from donors and is traded in blood injection centers, which negatively affects efforts aimed at increasing blood stocks.

Khaled continued, in the context of his talk to"Sky News Arabia"، "I think that the duty requires that members of the government and parliament also take the initiative to donate blood and set an example in this field. Because it is not acceptable for the reserve to be so small, especially since Morocco is a Muslim country and its traditions encourage generosity, sacrifice and solidarity with the needy, and there is no greater need than drops of blood that preserve life.".
Dr. Fathi sent a message saying: "I believe that the culture of donation and volunteering must be inculcated in the minds of young people from childhood in the study programs. This is the ideal strategy to prepare a generation that responds to the calls of the homeland, and the Corona pandemic was also an additional reason for complicating the situation of blood injection centers.
According to Fathi, a communicative effort should be made to encourage Moroccans, as even those who contracted corona can donate after a month of recovery, as well as everyone who received doses of the vaccine after seven days of the injection, and there are wrong ideas about donation that must be fought, everyone who has exceeded 18 years and enjoys In good health, he can donate periodically every 3 months.
The medical professor added: "The government should send text messages to phones, and mosque preachers should do their part in raising awareness.
