WARID collaborates with SUNDAS FOUNDATION on “World Blood Donors Day”

Warid Telecom, one of Pakistan’s leading telecoms providers, recently held a blood donation drive at their office on the occasion of “World Blood Donors Day”. Warid employees generously donated blood to show their support for this noble cause and to celebrate ‘World Blood Donors Day’.

Warid Telecom, as part of its CSR program, partnered with Sundas Foundation to raise awareness amongst all Warid employees regarding the importance of donating blood. Experts from the Sundas Foundation also held a session to educate Warid employees about the need for safe blood and blood products and to thank voluntary unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts of blood.

The session by SundasFundation was aimed to highlight the fact that transfusion of blood and blood products helps save millions of lives every year. It can help patients suffering from life-threatening conditions live longer and with higher quality of life, and supports complex medical and surgical procedures. It also has an essential, life-saving role in maternal and prenatal care.
