## New Blood Donation Initiative

Residents in five Dubai communities can now donate blood closer to home, thanks to the "My blood, for my country" campaign. This initiative, organized by Dubai Residential and Dubai Health, aims to collect over 200 units of blood as it expands to Shorooq, Ghoroob, The Gardens, Al Khail Gate, and International City.

Ahmed Al Suwaidi, managing director of Dubai Residential, emphasized the company's commitment to community well-being, stating that the campaign aligns with their vision of creating connected environments. Dr. Hiba Alhumaidan from Dubai Health highlighted the importance of collective efforts in maintaining healthcare services.
