Almas Conference Centre

1 June 2026

9:00AM - 2:00PM

We encourage you to take a few minutes from your day to support a cause that has a direct and meaningful impact on people’s lives.

The Gift of Blood, Gift of Life - Blood Donation Drive, in partnership with Dubai Health, will take place at Almas Conference Centre, offering a simple and safe way to contribute to a life-saving effort within the community.

Blood is essential every day for patients undergoing surgery, those involved in accidents, and individuals receiving treatment for serious medical conditions. Maintaining a steady blood supply is critical to ensuring uninterrupted care when it is needed most.

Healthy individuals can donate blood periodically, as it is not only beneficial for recipients, but also for donors:

Supports the body’s natural renewal of blood cells
Helps improve circulation and maintain iron balance
Contributes to early health screening through pre-donation checks
Provides a sense of mental wellbeing from helping save lives

The process is simple, safe, and fully supported by qualified medical professionals throughout the drive. So, volunteer today and be part of the impact.

All volunteers are required to register prior to the donation and select an available slot
