The ASEAN Community in Doha (ACD) organised the “ASEAN Community in Doha Blood Donation Drive” on 4 September 2026 at the Qatar National Blood Donation Centre in Doha.
The programme, led by the Embassy of Malaysia, received approximately 100 registrations of interest from members of the ASEAN community residing in Qatar who wished to participate in the humanitarian initiative.
The event was attended by all seven ACD Ambassadors and formed part of ACD’s efforts to give back to the host country, particularly in light of ongoing appeals and the continued need for blood donations. The programme reflected the spirit of solidarity, volunteerism and humanitarian values among the ASEAN community in Qatar.
HE Ambassador Faizal Razali, on behalf of the ACD Ambassadors, expressed appreciation to all Ambassadors, Embassy officials and community members who participated in the initiative. He also highlighted the importance of community support and compassion in helping to save lives.
The ACD also recorded its sincere appreciation to Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar National Blood Donation Services, volunteers and all parties involved for their valuable support and cooperation in ensuring the success of the programme.
Such initiatives further strengthen the close friendship, goodwill and people-to-people ties between ASEAN and Qatar, while showcasing the positive contributions of the ASEAN community towards Qatari society.
There are seven ASEAN Member States represented in Qatar, namely Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Viet Nam.
