Kokan Welfare Society, Kuwait (KWS) has consistently demonstrated its commitment to the health and well-being by hosting health awareness seminars and organizing charitable events.
KWS is now pleased to announce an upcoming KWS Blood Donation Drive, which aims to collect much-needed blood to support local hospitals and clinics all over Kuwait, ensuring a sufficient supply for those in need.
The blood donation drive will be held on Friday, May 17th, 2024. To offer maximum convenience, donors can visit either Adan Hospital (from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM) or Jabriya Blood Bank (from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM).
Blood donation is a safe and simple way to save lives, in which every unit of donated blood can help up to three patients. Blood transfusions are crucial for a variety of medical procedures, including surgeries, accident victims, and individuals with blood disorders.
Donating blood isn't just about helping others; it offers surprising benefits for the donor as well. It can improve your mental and physical well-being by reducing stress, boosting your mood, reducing isolation, and providing a sense of belonging. Donating can also help lower your risk of heart disease by reducing blood thickness, thus helping to reduce cardiovascular risk factors. As an added bonus, you'll receive a free health checkup from a trained professional who will measure your pulse, blood pressure, temperature, and hemoglobin levels.
The blood donation process is done by highly skilled professionals, designed to be quick and comfortable. Upon arrival, you'll first complete a brief registration form to confirm your eligibility. Next, a healthcare professional will conduct a short health screening to ensure your well-being and suitability for donation. The actual blood donation itself typically takes less than 15 minutes. Following your donation, you'll be invited to relax and enjoy some refreshments as you rest for a few minutes.
This event is open for everyone, irrespective of your nationality; if you are generally healthy and meet the eligibility criteria, we strongly encourage you to consider donating blood. Your participation is critical in ensuring a safe and sufficient blood supply. Every donation has the potential to make a life-saving difference for someone in need.
