New centres for blood donation in 2011
DUBAI - The Dubai Health Authority in collaboration with hospitals and health centres has announced the opening of new blood donation centres from early next year.
According to Dr Laila Al Shaer, Director, Dubai Centre, a number of new sites in each of the hospitals will be announced during the coming year.
In addition to this, a number of health centres will be launched, all with the latest equipment, resources and specialised staff needed to receive blood donors.
Dr Shaer said the move comes in response to the growing demand for blood and blood products.
Statistics show the annual number of blood units that have been made available during this year amounted to 28,430, including 12,864 units for Thalassemia Centre, and 14,103 units for hospitals (Rashid Hospital — 7,569 units, Dubai Hospital — 4,147 units and Al Wasl Hospital — 2,387 units). A total of 1,463 units of blood were provided to private hospitals.
The Director of the Dubai Centre for blood donation commended that the existence of such centres will allow community members the opportunity to participate in saving the lives of others and alleviating the suffering of patients while remaining involved in the provision of blood.
Dr Shaer said contribution to this project is to increase the inventory status of the blood by up to 20 per cent.
The role of the new centres will be complementary to blood donation campaigns being organised by the centre on a daily basis.
