World Blood Donor Day is day dedicated to
"thanking and celebrating voluntary non-remunerated blood donors".
The theme of 2012 world blood donor day campaign-"every blood donor is a
hero" focuses on the idea that every one of us can become a hero by giving
blood.
The World Blood Donor Day was observed at ATLAS
Hospital, Ruwi through a Blood Donation Camp. The event was organized in
association with Department of Blood Service, Ministry of Health. The camp
witnessed around 70 donors comprised of Omanis, expats and ATLAS employees.
During the course of the year we have held special camps on
various occasions such as our Anniversary, Omani Women’s Day, Renaissance Day,
etc. The enthusiastic participation of our donors was inspirational and never
gets old. One of them commented, “Giving is joy. When you save a life this way
you become a hero.”
“I'm glad that many have visited our hospital to celebrate
WBDD. Raising awareness of the need for safe blood around the world is always
on our agenda. We wish to encourage healthy, eligible individuals to give blood
regularly and to thank and honor those donors who make safe transfusion
possible.” said Dr. M.M. Ramachandran, Chairman & Founder of the ATLAS
Jewellery & Group.
