BankDhofar staff enthusiast­ically supported the cause that comes within the Ministry of Health’s continuous efforts to assemble blood units from donors and to provide these units to healthcare institutio­ns. The drive, which was split, into two days took place on August 7 at the head office building, while the second one was on August 9 at Al Khoudh branch.

Commenting on the initiative, Sami Omar Al Zadjali, executive manager - Marketing & Corpo- rate Communicat­ions, noted, “Blood donation helps healthcare institutio­ns provide safe blood units for inpatients and those in need of urgent blood transfer. We at BankDhofar save no efforts to support healthcare providers across the Sultanate and to contribute to their work that aims to provide high-quality health services to meet the needs and requiremen­ts of the society.”

This initiative comes as part of BankDhofar’s staff well-being programme, aiming at encouragin­g the staff to participat­e in causes that help in keeping good health,” Sami added.
