UNYT and the Red Cross of Albania, together for the greatest cause!

As many people with thalassemia require lifelong blood transfusions, maintaining an adequate blood supply is of considerable importance to the thalassemia community. On Friday, May 10th the University of New York Tirana with the Red Cross of Albania promoted the importance of blood drives and blood donations.

Each participant donated approximately 500ml of blood, a process which takes about 5-8 minutes. Thanks to all of those who came out to support a good cause!
