Carrefour Qatar has announced the successful run of its Blood Donation Drives initiative which was organized for its employees.

The Blood Donation Drives took place at Carrefour’s headquarters in Al Dafnah and its employee’s accommodation in Al Mansoura.

As part of Carrefour’s social responsibility activities, the successful initiative witnessed a turnout of 50 employees and was run in partnership with Hamad Medical Corporation. 

The initiative was led by a team of HMC medical professionals who operated a fully equipped mobile donation unit for donors.

The campaign’s goal was to increase community awareness around the importance of blood donations while encouraging individuals to support others in need by donating blood.

In light of COVID-19, stringent measures were in place throughout the initiative to ensure the highest safety of both donors and recipients.

Teams at Qatar Blood Services also stepped up the measures by implementing mandatory pre-screening processes such as following social distancing practices between donors, wearing of face masks, enhanced disinfecting of the venue, and providing hand sanitizer for use before entering and throughout the appointment.

Carrefour stated that it will continue to demonstrate its commitment to the local communities by positively contributing to a wide range of initiatives.
