Tamilnadu Muslim Cultural Association (TMCA), Kuwait, a non-profit and one of the oldest Indian Associations registered with the Embassy of India since 1995, is organizing Blood Donation Drive every year on 25th February, commemorating resident Kuwait’s National and Liberation Days celebrations. In its 24nd year (1995-2019) of existence and service, we have great pleasure to conduct our 14th year of Blood Donation Drive this year also on Monday, Feb 25. between 8 am till 1.00 pm at Jabriya Central Blood Bank.

Donating blood is an active way of helping others and the whole of society. One can almost say that blood is that magic potion which gives life to another person. Though we have made tremendous discoveries and inventions in Science we are not yet able to make the magic potion called Blood. Human blood has no substitute. Requirement of safe blood is increasing and regular voluntary blood donations are vital for blood transfusion services.

Our body has 5.5 ltr of blood of which only 350 ml-450 ml of blood is taken depending upon weight of donor. Majority of healthy adults can tolerate withdrawal of one unit of blood. The withdrawn blood volume is restored within 24 hours and the hemoglobin and cell components are restored in 2 months. Therefore it is safe to donate blood every three months. After donating, you should have a snack and something to drink in the refreshments area. You can leave the site after 10-15 minutes and continue with your normal daily activities. Talking with the donor throughout all the stages is extremely important, as it helps donors to feel happy and also helps the first time donors to get rid of their fear.

The purpose to organize a blood donation camp is to motivate people to donate blood. So dear brothers and sisters donate blood and give someone a ‘gift of life.’
