A group of medical faculty teaching staff participated in a voluntary extracurricular student activity by visiting Ibn Al-Atheer Hospital for Hematology. During the visit, in-kind gifts were presented to the patients followed by a discussion with the students on the symptoms of thalassemic patients, complications resulting from the disease and how to treat them. The visit also dealt with a simplified explanation for the students on the ELISA device and the CBC device affiliated with the Thalassemia Laboratory in the hospital. There was also a discussion between the students and professors with the hospital’s administrator about some tips, instructions and procedures followed by the hospital staff and the ways taken in order to limit the spread of Thalassemia disease.
