The Social Responsibility Observatory
The field of social responsibility is one of the important areas and urgent responsibilities for universities due to the nature of their work, their goals, their mission, and their influential role in communities, as well as their ability to address local community issues. In addition to their main role in admitting and graduating students and conducting scientific research, universities have to establish a high-level administrative body to act as the arm that organizes and oversees the university's role in activating social responsibility and achieving its goals.
In this regard, the university has established a Social Responsibility Observatory to serve as the arm that supports the university in fulfilling its role in the field of social responsibility. The observatory is responsible for managing this area by implementing initiatives that achieve the university's objectives in social responsibility.
The observatory consists of several centers and supporting units, including the Family and Childhood Center, the Special Needs Services Center, the Voluntary Work Center, the Awareness and Education Unit, the Community Engagement Unit, and the Local Development Programs Unit.

Thank God for the opening of this campaign, which is constantly organized by the medical services, and in which our brothers in the blood bank at King Khalid Hospital in Majmaah always participate with us.
We always cooperate to provide assistance to those in need of blood transfusions.
He talked about the importance of donation.
Donating blood is a noble behavior and a humanitarian initiative from a healthy person to someone who is bleeding due to an accident or surgery and needs a little blood to survive death.
God willing, in these cases, Adam's drops become the elixir of life.
Also, donating blood is a health certificate that indicates your safety, as each donor undergoes a medical examination of the body and a laboratory test of his blood for disease.
Hepatitis B, C - Malaria - AIDS - Syphilis,
In case of any problem, the blood bank provides the necessary advice from specialized consultants, and directs the patient to the appropriate authority to follow up on the case.
Donation helps stimulate the bone marrow to produce new blood cells that can carry a greater amount of oxygen to the body's main organs, such as the brain.
...It helps increase concentration and activity at work and prevents laziness.
The permanent donor in the blood bank receives special treatment when he or his family members need blood in the future, God forbid, especially if the blood type is available.
