Empower conducts blood donation drive

Within the framework of its social, national and humanitarian responsibility, the worlds largest district cooling services provider, Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower) has organized a blood donation campaign for the Dubai Blood Donation Centre at Latifa Hospital upon the celebration of the World Blood Donor Day. This stems from Empowers deep-seated belief in the significance of promoting a culture of blood donation for its vital role in saving the lives of the sick and the injured. The World Blood Donor Day is observed on June 14 every year and this years theme was Give blood and keep the world beating.

With the required number of blood donors from its employees and those who were previously registered, Empower has successfully covered its campaign to the fullest. Dinner meals and water were distributed among the donors out of the companys commitment to provide them with good nutritional care and honored them with e-Certificates.

The campaign focuses on supporting the goals of the World Health Organization and to realize the UAE Vision 2021, which seeks to build a cohesive and vibrant Emirati society, and the Dubai Plan 2021, which aims to establish a solid, compatible and mutually supportive society that adopts common human values.

The campaign also highlights the main objectives of the World Blood Donor Day, offering a global platform to show gratitude to blood donors for their utter sense of altruism, raising the public awareness and encouraging them to donate blood constantly so as to ensure the quality and availability of blood for the patients who are in need for it.
