Lebanese student encourages others to donate blood to save lives
If you live in a country with no centralized blood bank, where do you go if you need a transfusion? For Lebanese pharmacy student, Yorgui Keyrouz, the answer was his mobile phone. Lebanon’s health sector was in tatters following the country’s 15 year civil war, so Yorgui started an initiative to fill the gaping hole and he’s saved 15,000 lives already.

Yorgui didn’t start a blood bank, he’s the founder Donner Sang Compter (DSC). He started a database of potential healthy donors.

DSC is just the link between patients in need of blood transfusions and eligible donors!
Blood bank in Lebanon are located in hospitals and at some Red Cross sectors.
Whenever a demand occurs, we redirect donors to hospitals or to the red cross where blood is donated, tested and stored
