Dubai Airport Freezone ties up with Al Wasl Hospital for successful blood donation campaign

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 15, 2011 -- More than 100 employees of companies working at Dubai Airport Freezone, participated in this year’s blood donation campaign led by the Freezone’s ‘Tawasul’ team for humanitarian and social services.

The campaign was held in cooperation with Al Wasl Hospital. Yousuf Behzad, Executive Director of Human Capital & Strategy at Dubai Airport Freezone said, "this blood donation campaign by the "Tawasul" team, links DAFZ, Al Wasl Hospital and members of the community who suffer in hospitals of the country due to lack of adequate blood supplies required for their treatment."
"The Tawasul Team is tasked by DAFZ to carry out activities and events that benefit society as a whole and raise hope and optimism in the community. The team works in line with a strategy to implement the corporate social responsibility policy of the Freezone," he added.

Since its inception, Tawasul has organised several activities such as visiting the homes of the elderly and health centers for people with special needs. Tawasul has also helped them to raise funds by organising auctions to sell the handicrafts and artwork made by people with special needs, to encourage them to interact more with society.
Behzad added that the campaign aims to provide the health authorities across the country, like clinics and hospitals, with the sufficient supplies of blood to meet the needs of their patients.
"Successful cooperation between Al Wasl Hospital and DAFZ has led to great results over the years. A specialised team of four doctors, a nurse and two assistants from Al Wasl Hospital screened the donors for suitability and supervised the donation," Behzad concluded.
