How Risky is to Donate Blood!

Received a message that there is a huge need for "O Group" Blood . Planning to donate but found the facility is Hamad hospital, which is scary, so wanted to know whether they got sterilized material.

I get plenty of bad news with regards to hospitals in Qatar and specially Hamad.

Ya i know, been here for more than 3 years and thanks to God, never visited a hospital..

It's generally safe to donate blood in Hamad. They are well-equipped and have qualified personnel for blood donating activity....Plus you get a blood donor's card if you want to be a regular donor:)

agree with tcom, my cuz is a doctor and he suggest to donate blood every 6 months to generate new blood. so I am doing it every 6 months or 1 year.

The only risk is with the nurse or doctor doing it.
