Karnataka Sports and Cultural Club holds blood donation camp

Dubai: Karnataka Sports and Cultural Club in association with Dubai Heath Authority (DHA) and Community Development Authority (CDA) conducted a blood donation camp at Al Ghubaiba metro station recently.

The campa was inaugurated at 9.00 am by Karnataka Sports & Cultural Club President Mr. Ashraf Hassan. With four registration counters there were six volunteer groups to highlight the public on the awareness, necessity and benefits of blood donation.

Volunteers with their enthusiastic and competent approach promoted their noble cause at the exit / entry door of Al Ghubaiba Metro station, Bus station, Carrefour and traffic signals. From 9.00 am till 1.00 pm there was an unprecedented queue of participation for blood donation.

The very good positive response from the community exceeded our expectation as about hundred plus donors had registered, despite waiting in a long queue. The systematic arrangements, efforts and encouragement shown by the DHA to collect blood from the donors is most appreciable.

Complimentary Cups and Caps, snacks and soft drinks were distributed to the blood donors. Pamphlets signifying the importance and benefits of blood donation were also distributed.

At the concluding speech, the Club Manager Mr. Mohammad Shafi said “the blood donation camp received a remarkable response from the public which is highly commendable and we are very glad to have served the community by collaborating with Dubai Health Authority and Community Development Authority”.
