Qatargas recently organized blood donation campaigns at its offices in Doha and Ras Laffan Industrial City in cooperation with Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC). Over 120 Qatargas employees and contractor personnel donated blood during these campaigns.
A fully equipped mobile blood donation unit arrived from HMC along with a team of medical professionals. They were assisted by Qatargas Medical Center personnel.
As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, Qatargas has been organizing blood donation campaigns at its premises over the past 15 years, in cooperation with HMC. Hundreds of Qatargas employees and contractors have donated blood during these campaigns.
Every year, the Company organizes four blood donation campaigns, two in Doha and two in Ras Laffan Industrial City. In addition to helping the blood bank replenish its supply of blood, Qatargas believes that such campaigns also help spread awareness in the community regarding the importance of voluntary blood donation.
In recent years, Qatargas has twice received awards from HMC in recognition of its ongoing support to the Corporations' blood donation drive. Qatargas was also the 'Platinum' sponsor of the 'World Blood Donor Day' celebration organized by Hamad Medical Corporation in 2012 and 2014.
