Doha: The staff at the Australian Embassy visited Hamad Medical Corporation's Blood Donation Center yesterday to donate blood.

Ambassador Jonathan Muir at the occasion said: 'I was glad we could help this great cause as a team. I was interested to learn that the Hamad Blood Donation Center was closely modelled on the system we have in Australia, established by the Australian Red Cross.

'I would encourage others to consider making the important decision to give blood. I was privileged to also witness the investment Hamad has made on its new advanced pathology and diagnostic laboratories, which opened in 2018, Ambassador Muir continued.

'I thank Sadika Ismail Al Mahmoudi and her dedicated team at the Donation Center for looking after us during the donation; and also Dr Javed Akter, for the tour of Hamad Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, the Ambassador added.
