Historical facts speak volumes about the invaluable significance of blood donation during every kind of health crisis – either natural or man-made. Patients have always been in need of blood or blood plasma as they are hospitalised with different kinds of medical conditions.
By taking part in a noble cause like blood donation, an individual not only saves someone else’s life but also improves his or her health as well. It is a life-saving gift from one person to another irrespective of religion, nationality, or any other social factor.
QSindhis is a community group of expatriates from Sindh province of Pakistan. They have actively been taking part in all national-level events of both Qatar and Pakistan celebrating their own culture at the same time. Recently, QSindhis organised its second blood donation drive this year in collaboration with Blood Donor Centre of the Hamad Medical Corporation. Syed Ahsan Raza Shah, Pakistan's ambassador to Qatar, visited the blood donation centre on the occasion and appreciated the Pakistani community members for taking this initiative to help humanity.
“The humanitarian drive was held as part of support shown to Qatar in the current situation, where we must prove ourselves a strong nation and stand shoulder to shoulder with our Qatari brothers,” said Asif Qadir Memon, founder of QSindhis. “The campaign’s aim was to raise awareness of the importance of blood donation as a humanitarian initiative. Not only the Pakistani community but people from other nationalities also responded remarkably to the campaign,” he added.
Memon further said: “These are hard days for the medical practitioners as they are the frontline fighters against the coronavirus outbreak. Such volunteering activities also provide them with some moral support and a sense of solidarity from society in general. We need to exhibit our support to the doctors and paramedics – our heroes." He thanked all the volunteers, sponsors and organisers for making the drive successful and distributed appreciation certificates.
