Dubai, Feb 3: Karnataka Sangha Sharjah and Ganiga Samaj organized separate blood donation camps, at Latifa Hospital, Dubai on Friday, February 1, with good record number of donors’ participation.

Members of Karnataka Sangha Sharjah and Ganiga samaja along with their friends arrived enthusiastically to donate blood in large numbers.  It was also great to see Presidents and office-bearers of most of the regional Community Associations of Karnataka together in one place for this noble cause. Their support and participation gave moral support to the organizers who thanked them for witnessing such a noble event.

As per the Dubai Blood Donation Centre (DBDC), the need for blood is ongoing and must be met every day.  The demand for blood is growing faster than the collection rate and DBDC has been requested to have an instant response to the rapid growth in blood demand which is obviously proportionate to the fast growing population of the city along with healthcare facilities.

The DBDC is the only blood supplier in Dubai.  Its services extend to Thalassemia patients (Thalassemia Center at Al Wasl Hospital), road accident and burn victims (Trauma Centre at Rashid Hospital), patients with neonates and maternity health complications (Lathifa Hospital), cases diagnosed with cancer or scheduled for open heart operations (Dubai Hospital) as well as to all private health facilities within Dubai that are entitled for transfusion services.

The donors were issued with ‘Donor Cards’ exclusively as a proof of their support.

Other associations who have been willingly doing these types of blood donation campaigns in the past include Mogaveers UAE, Bunts UAE, Billawas Dubai & N.E., Billawa Balaga Dubai, UAE Amchigele Samaj, Ramarajya Khsatriya Sangha UAE, Padmashali UAE, Kodagu and Dakshina Kannada Gowda Samaja Dubai, Devadigara Sangha, Bellevision, Konkan Bells, Tulu Patherga Tulu Oripuga, etc.

Fruits, Juices, water etc. along with energy drinks from Chilly Willy were distributed to all donors at the blood donation campaign.
