I am Very Proud Of this Nation Who has Given Me the chance to Do Something Better In My Life, So It would be pleasure to Donate My till last Drop of Blood for this Nation. I really Love This Country. My Blood Group Is O-- , Any time any where.
I am very pleasure to give blood in any time. My blood group is A+ive.
No, but they will give you snacks, beside why do you ask for a reward? If you want to help or do something to others never expect in return. do it with open arms and GOD will take care of you.
Don't misunderstand for asking like this. Anyway i cannot give blood. Are they giving any reward for this blood donation?

Scheduled for donating blood tonight. wish me luck, this is my first time. I'm a bit scared
people need to think before they talk!..
it doesn't matter what kind of blood type you belong. as long as your willing to donate, it will highly appreciated..
FYI..
blood donation is very good for our body, the count of blood cells decreases in our body, which stimulates the bone marrow to produce new red blood cells in order to replenish the loss. So, it stimulates the production of new blood cells and refreshes the system and may reduce the risk of heart disease..
Blood Donation giving the wonderful feeling of saving someone's life.
what about AB (ive). I am Ab (ive), r they accepting this blood group as well??
It is not complicated and highest standard of hygine is maintained. Just pay a visit to Blood Bank to have look at the facilities and procedures.
I want to donate but it seems complicated and I am also afraid of infection due to lack of hygene.
sorry im afraid of needles :(
I call hamad blood bank, they said i can donate mine is A+ ,,, so it won't be a mater if u r O+
Good initiative. I want to donate but too bad I'm Type O+
Just to add, I am thankfully in good health, I don't smoke, don't drink and not on any medication!
It is a fantastic initiative. There was a request for blood for a patient waiting for surgery last year. I rushed to the blood bank with the details of the patient and they refused to take my O- blood because I had visited India in the last 6 months.
I was told people who had travelled to India, Pakistan, Nepal etc had to wait 6 months before they made a blood donation!
QV blood donation campaign a couple of week back. Good turn out at Blood Bank but many couldn't donate because of the one of the mentioned reasons.
and unfortunately among the potential donors none were of this rare blood group.
