Qatargas was recognised by Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) for its ongoing support to HMC’s blood donation drive at the World Blood Donor Day celebration on Sunday under the patronage of HE Abdulla bin Khalid al-Qahtani, Minister of Public Health and Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Health.
Senior officials and representatives of ministries, government organisations, corporate sponsors and private enterprises also attended the event.
During the event, Qatargas received mementos in recognition of its financial support as gold sponsor’ of the World Blood Donor Day celebration and its efforts in supporting HMC’s blood donation campaigns.
The ceremony was organised by HMC to honour and recognise the contributions of donors, including individuals and organisations, in promoting voluntary blood donation in the community and in helping the blood bank increase its supply of blood and blood components.
For over a decade, Qatargas has been organising regular blood donation campaigns on its premises in co-ordination with HMC. More than 1,500 employees and contractors have donated valuable “drops of life” during these campaigns.
