Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), Qatar’s leading Islamic bank, once again received an enthusiastic response from its customers and employees, after the successful conclusion of a blood donation day held on Tuesday May 13th, at QIB’s Head office in Grand Hamad Street.

This annual exercise, which QIB has successfully organised for several years in association with Hamad Medical Corporation, supports the community by restocking the hospital’s blood bank and enhancing the ability of local hospitals to save lives.

QIB’s staff was led by the Group CEO, Bassel Gamal, who together with general managers, customers and other employees, donated their blood as part of the Bank’s corporate social responsibility programme, which includes vital educational, health, and community programmes.

Commenting on the blood donation day, Mr. Gamal pointed out: “the QIB family and customers are proud to participate in this blood donation day which reflects higher human values as well as our shared sense of social responsibility towards the Qatari society. Today’s activity is the result of our strong belief in supporting the blood bank at the Hamad Medical Corporation, and we at QIB are proud to be at the forefront of institutions staging blood drives”.

Mr. Gamal added: “As a pioneer of Islamic Banking and an active partner providing continuous support to community activities, QIB places social responsibility at the very top of its priorities. This testifies to our awareness of our social responsibility, manifested through our substantial contributions in supporting human, health, educational, and sports activities, as well as other various activities that fall within our social responsibility programs”.
