Post-blood donation care was also provided to ensure the proper well-being of the employees. There were doctors present in-house as well to answer all medical related queries, if any.
Amir Pasha, Head of PR & CSR at Ufone, said “Corporate volunteerism is an integral part of our CSR strategy. Our culture at work greatly emphasizes on helping out others in any possible way. The enthusiasm and interest of our employees in acting socially responsible encourages us to conduct such activities often.”
Dr. Safia, Director Health Services, PRCS was delighted to see the response and said “We are thankful to all the volunteers who donated blood and became part of this valuable initiative. This will go a long way in helping people suffering from thalassemia and patients with crucial surgeries that are postponed due to inadequate supply of blood.”
