Held at Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSOA) headquarter, a significant number of DSOA volunteers donated blood as part of the company’s corporate social responsibility. The donated blood will go towards helping “Thalassemia” patients as well as others in need of blood.
Dr. Juma Al Matrooshi, Chief Corporate Services Officer (CCSO) - DSOA said: “By organizing the campaign, DSOA aims to cooperate with healthcare organizations to help meet the continuous need for blood supplies at hospitals, and blood banks. DSOA is keen on fulfilling its commitment to the community in all aspects of life including healthcare”.
“We hope this encourages other corporations to come forward and assist hospitals and health organizations in this cause. The campaign received an overwhelming response from DSOA employees” Dr. Juma Added.
Blood transfusion is a vital aspect to combating “Thalassemia”, a genetic blood disorder that affects a person's ability to produce haemoglobin, resulting in severe anemia. With one in twelve UAE Nationals suffering from the disease, a blood transfusion is required every two to three weeks.
