The Board of Directors of Badr al Samaa Hospitals and Polyclinics, P A Mohammed, Dr V T Vinod and Abdul Latheef, said, 'The importance of blood donation is paramount. There is no substitute for blood. Donate blood generously and save lives. It is a divine experience.'
Blood is essential for saving lives and blood donation has become a major concern. The shortage of the active blood donors has a concerning impact on the increased blood demand. The donated blood is used for the wide range of circumstances like for emergency surgical procedures, patients of cancers like leukemia, trauma cases, etc. We should not wait for emergency to happen; rather, we should become pro-active and donate generously so that there is sufficient stock available in our blood banks. Each blood donation can save up to three lives.
Badr al Samaa Hospitals and Polyclinics takes their corporate social responsibility seriously and believes in contributing to the society with the noble intention of meeting social and humanitarian needs. Their efforts have been well acknowledged by the society from time to time, which is evident by the response of both Omanis and expats for such social causes. Badr al Samaa has taken a pledge to aggressively work for such noble and important causes, which can make a difference to someone's life.
