Europcar Bahrain and Oman have announced the successful completion of their first blood donation drive in Bahrain, held recently at King Hamad American Mission Hospital (KHAMH), A’ali.
The initiative, organised in partnership with AmCham Bahrain, American Mission Hospital (AMH) and YK Almoayyed & Sons (YKA), aimed to support a vital community cause that saves lives.
The campaign brought together community members, businesses and volunteers to donate blood and support this life-saving initiative.
Sixty individuals registered, with 43 successfully donating blood.
Europcar Bahrain and Oman chief executive officer Nitin Sapre emphasised the importance of blood donation.
“Blood cannot be manufactured; it comes solely from the generosity of donors,” he said.
“Every donation has the potential to change a life forever. Supporting our communities is not just a responsibility; it’s a privilege.
“By encouraging blood donation, we are fostering a culture of giving that can truly make a difference.”
AMH CEO and chief medical officer Dr George Cheriyan encouraged healthy adults to consider this rewarding opportunity to make a difference.
“Donating blood is a generous and safe act that can save lives. It’s a common misconception that it’s not good for your health; in reality, our bodies are wonderfully equipped to replenish what is donated, including platelets, which are quickly replaced after donation.”
AmCham Bahrain president Qays Hatim Zu’bi said that it was heartening to see the business community rally together for a cause that truly makes a difference in the lives of individuals and families.
“The health of our community is a responsibility we all share. We are honoured to stand alongside Europcar and American Mission Hospital in this life-saving initiative.”
“Having successfully organised similar events in Oman for some time now, Europcar Bahrain and Oman looks forward to continuing this wonderful initiative year after year with their partners, as together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need,” said a Europcar Bahrain and Oman spokesperson.
He added that the initiative reflected Europcar’s commitment to corporate social responsibility and the belief in making a positive impact in the community.
