Under the auspice of Prof.Dr/ Mohamed Hassan Alkenawy , the university president and Prof.Dr/ Zaki Zidan , the dean of the faculty and throughout the cooperation between the sector of community service and the environmental development in each of faculty o engineering headed by P. Dr/Maher Abdalrazak and medicine headed by P.Dr/ Nesreen Omar , a medical symposium was held and it was about the importance of the blood donation and the lecturer was Dr/ Heda Sarhan the clinical pathology specialist and manager of the blood bank at oncology centre at faculty of medicine – Mansoura university . .

Then she exposed to main reasons of non-acceptable of blood donation and among them there are :
- donating blood through the last three months

And finally she asserted the importance of blood donation through the principle " drop of blood equal life", as the special ambulance for blood donation that follows the university students hospital was kept in front of the entrance of the faculty all the day ; also the student league at faculty of engineering participated in organizing the campaign under the auspice of mister/ the general manager of student care at the faculty .
