1. The Blood Donation Unit is NOT opposite Lulu department store. It is opposite the Kia Motors garage. The entrance is v. close (50 yards) to the Al Rayyan Road, closer than the general medical facilities. As you drive into Hamad Medical City, the multi-storey is one your left. The Blood Donation Unit is on your right.
If you try to look opposite Lulu Department store you will spend 15 minutes looking for it as I did.
2. You do NOT have to have stayed in Qatar for the previous 6 months, this is incorrect. They ask you for 6 months travel history to check that you have not visited any countries with malaria or other communicable diseases. I had been to the UK and Dubai in the last 6 months so was fine.
3. The receptionist last night told me they close at 9.30pm. Sorry didn't get the opening hours!
The previous post but one is incorrect.
