Sharjah: A
49-year-old man from Oman has been honoured by the ministry of
health of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for donating blood for 26
years.
Ahmed Bin Hamad Al Khoroosi was born in January 1963 in Bahrain,
but shifted to Oman at the age of nine for his studies. In 1983,
he had a terrible accident, which led to think of donating blood
for needy people.
Al Khoroosi, who now donates blood every three months, said he
donated blood for the first time June 14, 1986 in Oman.
He has also encouraged his wife, daughters and brother to donate
blood.
"My wife has donated 16 times and my brother 54 times. He also
makes regular visits to government organisations and private
companies to organise awareness lectures about the importance of
blood donation," he said.
Al Khoroosi was honoured by Amin Hussein Al Amiri, assistant
undersecretary for medical practices and licensing, and chairman
of the Blood Transfusion Higher Committee in the UAE's ministry of
health.
