KARACHI: Mobilink, a subsidiary of Orascom Telecom, organised blood donation drives at its offices nationwide for children suffering from Thalassemia and other blood diseases.
In total, more than 200 pints of blood were donated to Fatimid Foundation in Karachi and Lahore along with similar healthy blood donations to Sundas Foundation in Islamabad.
Organised under the auspices of Mobilink Foundation, employees were driven with the common goal of providing Thalassemics a chance to live with an improved quality of life. A pint of blood generally suffices three patients adding approximately two to six weeks in their lives. The contribution marks a commitment to societal and communal well-being.
Mobilink appreciated the work of Fatimid and Sundas Foundation for playing a very positive and supportive role in saving innocent lives and facilitating free of cost transfusion and treatment to needy children.
