Dubai, Apr 5: The UAE Amchigele Samaj will be organizing a blood donation camp on April 20 between 12 noon and 2 pm at the Latifa Hospital (previously known as Al Wasl Hospital), Oud Mehta Road, Al Wasl area, Dubai.
Blood donation has many advantages besides giving the wonderful feeling of saving someone's life. A few minutes of your time will mean a lifetime for someone else. Be a blood donor and save a life.
Samaj has invited all eligible members to donate blood at the camp and also bring along their family members, friends, relatives and colleagues who would be interested to donate blood.
Donors are advised to avoid any dental work 72 hours prior to blood donation and also abstain from taking alcohol 12 hours prior to the blood donation, as it disqualifies the donor.
