Qatargas employees and contractors participated in a massive blood donation drive at the Qatargas HQ in Doha, Ras Laffan and Al Khor Community over the past two weeks. The initiative was held in cooperation with the Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) with the objective of adding to the national blood reserves. This annual event forms part of the company's Corporate Social Responsibility programme which includes a wide range of health awareness programmes and support to health organisations in the country. Donors participated in blood donation campaigns held at Qatargas Headquarters in Doha, Al-Khor Community, and the Ras Laffan North and South plants. Qatargas has been organising blood donation drives over the past 17 years, in cooperation with HMC. 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.
