On March 31, 2025, coinciding with International Doctors' Day, Jiahui International Hospital, with the support of the Blood Management Office in Xuhui District and Shanghai Shenhua Football Club, launched the "Lend an Arm, Share the Gift of Life" blood drive.
On the day of the event, numerous medical staff, Shenhua football fans, local and international volunteers joined the charity drive, attracting hundreds of participants. The total blood donation reached 21,400 milliliters, contributing significantly to clinical blood needs.
According to the Shanghai Blood Center, the city requires approximately 1500 units of blood daily to meet clinical demands. With the rising number of critically ill patients, Jiahui Health's need for clinical blood continues to grow. During this Spring Festival, Jiahui International Cancer Center admitted many critical cancer patients, some experiencing hemorrhagic shock due to acute gastrointestinal bleeding, while others with acute leukemia required prompt red cell and platelet support. Through collaborative efforts within 5 days, the blood bank at Jiahui provided over 50 blood products, aiding patients during the holiday period.
At the blood drive, Jiahui International Hospital's medical staff actively participated in blood donation to reciprocate support from the Blood Center and the community. Dr. Ahmed Arafat, a pediatrician from Egypt living in China for over a decade, donated blood for the third time. “Blood transfusion is a vital treatment method, benefiting trauma, obstetrics, surgical bleeding, and patients with blood disorders. Additionally, high hemoglobin levels help reduce blood viscosity. I hope everyone supports this charity, lifting up others' lives with their blood,” he expressed.
As a strategic partner of Jiahui Health, Shanghai Shenhua Football Club provided substantial support for the charity event. “In high-intensity sports like football, player injuries or emergencies are common. We understand the crucial role of medical support in sports and the significance of adequate blood reserves in medical care. Therefore, voluntary blood donation is a long-term project we are committed to supporting,” stated the club's representative. Encouraged by Shenhua, several fans attended the event to show their support.
