Ooredoo held a two-day blood donation drive to encourage employees to donate blood and support the local community. The drive saw large numbers of eligible Ooredoo employees turn out to donate blood in order to help patients at local clinics and hospitals.
The blood donation drives — an annual commitment for Ooredoo — were held at the telecoms leader's two headquarters sites on September 5 and 10, 2019, and were arranged in partnership with Hamad Medical Centre's Blood Donation Centre.
HMC visited both Ooredoo's headquarters, in West Bay and Airport Road, with everything necessary to collect blood on site, making donation a quick and easy process for Ooredoo employees.
Manar Khalifa Al Muraikhi, Director PR and Corporate Communications at Ooredoo, said, 'At Ooredoo, supporting our local communities is a key focus of our corporate social responsibility strategy. We recognise our humanitarian responsibilities as a leading Qatari company, and we are fully committed to finding as many ways as possible to participate in initiatives that benefit those in the community in need of our help. We're proud to see so many of our employees who were able to donate blood came along and did so, and we're grateful to Hamad Medical Centre for making the blood drives possible.
