Qatargas employees and contractors participated in a blood donation drive held at the Qatargas headquarters in Doha, Ras Laffan and Al Khor Community over the past two weeks.
The initiative was held in co-operation with Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) with the objective of adding to the national blood reserves.
The 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, Qatargas has said in a statement.
Donors participated in blood donation campaigns held at the 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 co-operation with HMC.
Hundreds of 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.
