Dubai: Mogaveers UAE successfully conducted a Blood Donation camp at Dubai blood donation center at Lathifa Hospital on the 9th day of the Holy month of Ramadan on Tuesday, June 14, 2016 from 8 pm to 11 pm. This campaign was dedicated to World Blood Donors’ day.
An enthusiastic team of Mogaveers UAE, led by Balakrishna Salian was in the center right from the beginning to assist and guide all the donors.
Mogaveers UAE members from all the corner of UAE turned into the center for this great cause and donated their precious blood.
According to Dubai Blood Donation Centre (DBDC), the need for blood is ongoing and must be met every day. 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 demand for blood which is obviously proportionate to the fast growing population of the city along with healthcare 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. It’s 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 the juice and goodie bag of World Blood Donors’ day to all the donors present during the campaign.
On behalf of Mogaveers UAE, Bala as a promoter of blood donation drive thanked all the associations, individuals, and media persons who supported the noble cause this time and throughout the year.
From this year onwards Mogaveers UAE will be conducting the blood donation campaigns twice a year that is on December 2 to mark UAE’s National day and on June 14 which is the World Blood Donors’ day.
