(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC) organised a blood donation campaign in co-operation with the Oman Road Safety Association and the Amman Blood Donor Team at its headquarters in Mawaleh.
The aim was to provide the blood bank with what it needs to serve the patients and deepen the spirit of giving to serve humanity, inspired by the teachings of the Islamic religion.
Ahmed bin Hamad al Kharousi, general blood donor, who has donated blood more than 140 times and is one of the supporters of blood donation campaigns in Oman, said that co-operation in blood donation may save the lives of patients even with few drops of blood. He added, 'I have been donating blood for more than 30 years and every time I donate blood I feel so happy about such humanitarian work of community service.'
He encouraged all members of the society to visit the blood banks for the purpose of donating benefits.
It is believed that donating blood stimulates blood circulation and reduces the risk of heart disease and arterial blockage because blood donation reduces the proportion of iron in the blood. It has been scientifically proven that increasing the percentage of iron increases the incidence of these diseases. The campaign got a great response by employees and is part of a series of events that the company is doing this year. The number of donors was 36.
