Text of the Letter
It is no secret that young Iraq is now being swept by a comprehensive wave of development in various fields
cultural, health, economic, social, urban, and others, and each of these fields has basic pillars
upon which the entity of this development as a whole is based
And since preventive medicine is part of this general development, taking its progressive steps continuously and to keep pace with the nations
advanced, we saw it as an important matter to expand our step regarding thoracic surgery, where citizens
suffering from surgical chest diseases until recently faced a fate we could not avoid, so whoever
among them was well-off traveled to Europe and America for treatment, and whoever among them was not well-off remained struggling with
death until he passed away.
And now, thanks to the efforts continuously exerted by the Ministry of Health, whether by providing
capable thoracic surgery or bringing in thoracic surgeons of an excellent standard, and distributing that in
Prince Abdul Ilah Hospital, the door to modern treatment has become wide open.
And our hospital has come to be considered an educational and treatment center at the same time
This is after the surgeons warned and we were faced with the problem clearly and openly, which is that there is no thoracic surgery except
by providing sufficient quantities of blood because no thoracic surgery is performed except by supplying the patient with quantities
of blood, and blood donation, as is common in advanced countries, has become nothing more than a duty
humanitarian based on the basis of chivalry for the sake of saving innocent lives, so in this way we provoke your determination
to help this humanitarian institution and we appeal to you for your members to donate what their generous souls can afford
to achieve this great goal, in addition to that, it has been decided to pay three dinars for one unit of blood with the emphasis
that giving this blood does not cause any bad effect on the health of the donors and may be beneficial in some
cases for those afflicted with high blood pressure.
To be continued ⟦line⟧
Page 416
⟦line⟧ 2 ⟦line⟧
I have firm hope that I will find in your assistance what calls for pride and honor, because what is known about
Iraqis in terms of competing in the field of chivalry and dignity does not need proof.
Hoping that you will kindly send the lists of the zealous brothers who submit their names to you as donors
to include them in the register we have opened for this purpose to classify their blood and mark it when the need arises
for it. In light of the above, we would be grateful for the commendable efforts we see from all state departments,
and that you kindly circulate this appeal to all high scientific institutes, including high colleges and preparatory
schools and other institutes that you designate. And kindly inform us of the result.
