This project was a rapid response to a critical need in the Kherson community, where constant shelling continues to put immense pressure on the healthcare system.
Thanks to donors support, the Kherson Regional Blood Service Center received 10 packs of hemoglobin cuvettes - an essential consumable without which daily work with blood donors is impossible. These cuvettes are used for rapid hemoglobin level testing, a mandatory step before blood donation, both in stationary conditions and during mobile blood donation drives.
The delivered support helped address a shortage of critically important supplies and ensured the uninterrupted operation of the Center. As a result, the production of blood components could continue steadily, supplying medical facilities across Kherson with life-saving materials for people injured by shelling.
This initiative once again demonstrated the role of the Community Foundation as a reliable partner in responding to urgent challenges in frontline areas and supporting critical infrastructure.
As noted by the Blood Center:
“The technical capacity of our Center continues to be supported by the Charitable Organization «Community Foundation of Kherson «Zakhyst», which helped us procure such an essential and constantly needed consumable - special disposable cuvettes for the portable hemoglobin analyzer. This allows us to quickly and accurately screen donors both in-house and during outreach donation campaigns. Today, this kind of support is more important than ever.”
Through this project, donors contributions were transformed into concrete results - uninterrupted operation of the Blood Center and lives saved.
