MUSCAT: The Central Blood Bank in Bausher has issued a call for an increase in blood donations ahead of the upcoming Eid al Fitr holiday. This period usually sees a significant drop in blood donations, as many donors are busy with family and religious obligations. The bank is urging both regular and new donors to contribute during this critical time to ensure that there is a sufficient supply to meet the needs of hospitals and medical facilities across Oman.
In preparation for the holiday, the blood bank is focusing on maintaining an adequate stock of all blood types, particularly rare ones. Given the expected surge in medical cases during the holiday, the need for blood and its components will be even higher. The blood bank has also highlighted the importance of maintaining a steady supply throughout the holiday season to avoid any shortages or delays in emergency medical treatments.
The Central Blood Bank in Bausher has planned several donor drives and outreach programs to encourage more people to donate. Volunteers will be stationed at various locations throughout the region to make the donation process more accessible. Additionally, the blood bank is reminding donors that blood donation is a quick and simple process that can make a life-saving difference for those in need.
To further encourage donations, the blood bank has teamed up with local organizations and social media influencers to raise awareness about the critical need for blood donations during this period. They are also offering incentives such as free health check-ups and refreshments for donors. The Central Blood Bank is hoping that the generosity of the community will help maintain a stable and reliable supply of blood throughout the Eid al Fitr period.
