Dubai, Jun 20: Mogaveers UAE successfully conducted a blood donation campaign at the Dubai blood donation center of Lathifa Hospital on the 9th day of Holy month of Ramadan which was held on Tuesday June 14 from 8 pm to 11.00 pm. This campaign was dedicated to the world blood donor’s day.
An enthusiastic team of Mogaveers UAE led by Balakrishna Salian were at the center, right from the beginning to assist and guide all the donors.
Mogaveers UAE members from all corners of UAE turned into the center for this great cause and donated their precious blood.
As per Dubai Blood Donation Centre (DBDC), the need for blood is ongoing and must be met everyday. The demand for blood is growing faster than the collection rate and DBDC has requested to have an instant response to the rapid growth in blood demand which is obviously proportionate to the fast growing population of the city along with health care facilities. The seasonal blood shortage obviously occurs in the holy month of Ramadan and through the summer holidays. DBDC is the only blood supplier in Dubai. Its services are extended to Thalassemia patients (Thalassemia Center at Lathifa Hospital, Dubai), road accident and burn victims (trauma centre at Rashid Hospital), patients with neonates and maternity health complications (Lathifa Hospital Dubai), cases diagnosed with cancer or scheduled for open heart operations (Dubai Hospital) as well as to all private health facilities within Dubai that are entitled for transfusion services.
A strong team of Mogaveers UAE executive committee was present till the end of the campaign and distributed fresh fruits along with juice and goodie bag of world blood donor’s day to all the donors present during the campaign.
On behalf of Mogaveers UAE, Bala as the promoter of the blood donation drive thanked all the associations, individuals and media persons who supported this noble cause during this campaign and throughout the year.
From this year onwards Mogaveers UAE will be conducting blood donation campaigns twice a year namely on December 2 to mark UAE's National day and on June 14 which is the world blood donor’s day.
