Enhancing voluntary blood donations: King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital experience with mobile donation campaign.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Blood donation is crucial for healthcare systems worldwide, ensuring the availability of blood and its products for patients in need. Many regions struggle to maintain adequate blood supplies due to reliance on patient-related donations, leading to shortages and logistical challenges. Increasing voluntary, non-remunerated blood donations (VNRBD) is pivotal for a stable blood supply. Mobile blood donation campaigns have shown promise in enhancing voluntary donation rates by providing convenient opportunities for potential donors. This study aimed to evaluate donor satisfaction levels and compare experiences between first-time and repeat donors in a mobile blood donation campaign conducted at King Fahd Armed Forces Hospital (KFAFH) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
