Blood Donation Drive - THANK YOU

kimo
By kimo

I am borrowing Kimo's login to post a very sincere note of appreciation to the QL readers out there who recently gave so generously their time - and blood - to what arguably has to be one of the most important gifts we can give - the "gift of blood - the gift of life".

A special thanks to Sara Mostafawi and Aisha Al Kuwari for their initiative and efforts.

The demand for blood and blood products in recent months has been significant with some very tragic accidents as well as a significant number of patients who require regular, ongoing blood transfusions and blood products. It is highly likely that your donation has already been used to save at least one life each.

I please encourage all the other QL readers out there to contribute as our blood supply is still critical and we look forward to repeat visits into the future.

On behalf of the Hamad Medical Corporation, Blood Transfusion Services - thank you.

Regards

Steve

Assist. Executive Director, Clinical Support Services

seriously richard, were they really moaning or you joking with us?

and since they know they are lousy, do they intend on improving?

was moaning about this web site. Said we had been crticizing him and his professional colleagues on QBS.

Us? Get real Bernie. How could we possibly criticize such a professional operation as QBS with its cool DJs? Where else will you find such talent as camp Bernie Lyons, miserable Elias and the inimitable DJ JoJO? You guys are the best and we know it!

LOL amr why’s the question! Actually I donated the same day they announce the shortage of blood. ie: when I posted the blood donation invitation to the other members’ I was just done with my own donation. I’m kind of used to it. Alhamdolillah.

We will do it again of course. It's just the humble beginning. Hopefully we'll reach a 100-potential-donor list by the end of the year.

I’m working on writing an Arabic description of the project for the Qataris online forums so they can do the same.

Mr. Steve I really want to do more. This is nothing.
