Al Abdulkarim Tower celebrates World Blood Donor Day (WBDD). This event aims to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products and to thank blood donations that save the lives of voluntary unpaid blood donors.

Blood services that provide patients with access to a sufficient amount of safe blood and blood products are an important element of an effective health system. The global theme of World Blood Donor Day changes every year in honor of selfless people who donate blood to strangers.
