Aster Medical Centre, a division of DM Healthcare, has collaborated with Hamad Medical Corporation, to organise a blood donation drive on Friday, January 4, 2013. The Blood donation drive will be held at Aster Medical Centre (Wellcare Poly clinic) near Shafi Masjid, Al Rayyan, from 2pm onwards. “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. It can save between three to five lives,” said Dr Sameer Moopan, CEO, DM Healthcare - Qatar. The participants for the blood donation drive 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. Hamad Medical Corporation will do the screening for the participants to determine eligibility for donating the blood.
