Events
The ISU Department of Student Affairs organizes a blood donation campaign on 1 November 2018, in ISU Buildings A and E.
Mobile blood collection teams from leading medical companies New Hospitals and National Blood Bank LLC will be ready to attend to volunteer blood donors willing to support people in need of help.
Blood donors will receive the following test results for free:
- Complete Blood Count

Blood can be donated by any person aged between 18 and 65 who:
