As part of its commitment to being an active participant in the local community, Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), Qatar’s leading Islamic Bank, organised its annual blood donation campaign in association with Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) on December 19 at the QIB Main Office on Bank Street between 8:30am and 12noon.
The annual campaign was organised in order to restock the hospital's blood bank and enhance the ability of local hospitals to save lives. QIB is continuously strengthening its involvement in key matters that affect the people in Qatar, and participating in the development of the Qatari society through providing solutions and options to address social, educational, health and financial needs. The campaign received a strong response from employees who work in various QIB departments as well as customers who turned up to donate blood and give back to the community.
“For over ten years, QIB’s employees and customers have shown consistent interest in backing the annual blood donation campaign”, said Bassel Gamal, QIB’s Group CEO.
“Being a leading Islamic Bank, corporate social responsibility does not exist as a separate idea, it is a concept that is engraved in the core of everything that we do. We pride ourselves in working hard everyday to improve the quality of life of every individual living and working in Qatar... We believe that events like the blood donation we have organised today are contributing to making Qatar a healthier and more connected nation.”
