DOHA: Aster Medical Centre in collaboration with Hamad Medical Corporation, will hold a blood donation drive on January 4 from 2pm.
The Blood donation drive will be held at Aster Medical Centre (Wellcare Poly clinic) near Shafi Masjid, Al Rayyan.
“There is an increasing demand for donated blood, especially of the rare types. However, this demand would not be met without the help of the general public. Donating blood takes only a few minutes of our time but makes an immeasurable difference to those in need of it,” said Dr Sameer Moopan, CEO, DM Healthcare - Qatar.
Blood donors must have a valid Qatar ID and fall within the age bracket of 18 to 60 years. The participants must have a proper sleep of minimum 6 hours in the night prior to donating blood.
