BASF held its annual voluntary blood donation camp event in Karachi recently, organised for the second time in partnership with the Indus Hospital. At the camp, established in 2014, BASF employees, customers and other external stakeholders helped replenish low blood inventories at the hospital and raise the importance of blood donation in Pakistan.
The blood donations will be primarily used in the Indus Children Cancer Hospital for patients who are fighting childhood cancer, along with providing an essential lifeline to those in need. Speaking at the opening of the camp, Faisal Akhtar, Managing Director, BASF Chemicals & Polymers Pakistan (Private) Limited said, "I would like to thank all of the donors for their generosity.
Donating blood is a healthy and sensible practice. With many people participating in blood donation we can help secure a sustainable pipeline of blood for our country and save the lives of those in need: this is how a company network can 'create chemistry' to support an important societal initiative."-PR
