A blood bank unit to aid wounded civilians and members of defense forces treated in Hadassah hospitals and emergency clinics in Palestine will be sent to Palestine, Mrs. Samuel J. Rosensohn, chairman of Hadassah’s medical committee, announced here today.
The blood bank will complete an order for 166 tons of urgently-needed medical instruments, drugs, hospital equipment, clothing and food — valued at $175,000 — requested by the Hadassah Medical Organization in Palestine. Within the past three months, the organization has expanded its medical defense program at its main hospital on Mt. Scopus and in five other vital sectors of Palestine.
