Dr. Amin Al Amiri, Executive Director for Medical Practices and Licenses at the Ministry of Health and Chair of the Blood Transfusion National Committee, emphasized that the organization lauded the efforts of the UAE in blood transfusion, pointing out that it selected the UAE as one of the best five models in the field of blood transfusion and its role in enhancing the World Blood Donor Day.
The five listed countries are: South Africa, United Kingdom, Thailand, Canada and United Arab Emirates which is the first Arab country and seventh country worldwide that has been selected to host the world blood donators day in 2008. The ceremony was organized under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khelifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE President.
He also mentioned that the four international organizations "World Health Organization, International Federation for Red Cross and Red Crescent, International Federation for Blood Transfusion and International Blood Donors Association" lauded the efforts of the UAE which led to its nomination as the headquarters for the WHO's Middle Eastern region. This selection was due to the UAE efforts in supporting blood donators and organizing blood donation ceremonies generally.
Dr. Al Amiri lauded the efforts of the other sectors especially the mosques in encouraging the residents to blood donation and the cooperation of the government sector in disseminating awareness campaigns about blood donation and the usage of modern techniques as well as text messages especially the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Social Affairs to encourage students to participate in the activities of the blood donation center and research in Sharjah.
"We would like to thank the social organizations and institutions for their support to the Ministry of Health referring that the ministry's success could not have been accomplished in the field of blood transfusion campaigns and blood donators without their cooperation", he concluded.
