The Dubai Financial Market (DFM) organizes a blood donation campaign in cooperation with the Dubai Health Authority, in which DFM staff, investors and employees of brokerage firms participate to support Thalassemia patients and accident casualties.
The event is usually hosted at DFM’s Public Gallery as part of DFM’s aim to support the initiative announced by the UAE government.
The campaign which takes place at the DFM involves the distribution of guidance booklets and leaflets highlighting information on blood donation and answering frequently asked questions, including the benefits of blood donation, frequency of donation, and the persons eligible to donate.
A medical unit which includes one physician and seven nurses is set up; they in turn contribute to the success of the campaign and fulfilling its objectives.
The Dubai Financial Market is keen to launch such initiatives which reflect its firm commitment to society. Blood donation is, undoubtedly a priority considering the crucial role it plays in saving the lives of many, particularly children suffering from Thalassemia, patients with leukemia and those who are in need of frequent blood transfusions, in addition to many others who are being treated for other serious diseases or undergoing surgeries, as well as accident casualties.
