Mogadishu: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has signed an agreement with the International Wars and Disasters Victims’ Protection Association to implement the second phase of the National Blood Bank project in Mogadishu, Somalia.
The agreement, expected to benefit over 10,000 people, was signed in Riyadh by Ahmed bin Ali Al-Baiz, KSrelief’s assistant supervisor general for operations and programs.
Dr. Abdullah Al-Moallem, director of KSrelief’s health and environmental aid department, said the project aims to reduce mortality rates and control the spread of bloodborne infectious and epidemic diseases.
“The National Blood Bank in Mogadishu will provide a safe and secure blood supply for transfusions and medical treatments,” he explained. “It will also support the early detection of blood-related and other illnesses, strengthening the overall healthcare system.”
Since its launch, The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has launched extensive humanitarian efforts in Somalia, focusing on food security, health, nutrition, and healthcare infrastructure.
Additionally, KSrelief has contributed over $8.5 million to support the World Food Programme’s relief and nutrition initiatives, addressing food insecurity and malnutrition affecting millions amid drought, conflict, and high food prices.
