Qatargas has begun a month-long blood donation campaign, with the first one held at the Qatargas headquarters in Doha.
The campaign, running for the 18th consecutive year, will continue throughout March.
As part of the company’s corporate social responsibility initiatives, the campaign is conducted in co-operation with Hamad Medical Corp with the objective of adding to the national blood reserves.
The campaign will continue through the month, with three additional events organised at Ras Laffan and Al Khor Community, providing employees at the site and other locations with an opportunity to contribute to the promotion of public health and well-being.
The blood donation drive is an annual event that includes a wide range of health awareness programmes and support to health organisations in the country, Qatargas has said in a statement.
Hundreds of Qatargas employees and contractors have donated blood during these campaigns.
In addition to helping the blood bank increase its supply of blood and blood components, Qatargas “believes that such campaigns also help promote a culture of voluntary blood donation in the society”, the statement adds.
