Blood Donation

Donating blood is a simple yet incredibly powerful way to make a lasting impact on someone’s life. Blood Donation Center is part of the Dubai Health network, and supplies around 50% of the UAE's blood units to medical facilities around the country, through the continued support of our donors.

If you would like to give blood, you can visit our Blood Donation Center in Al Jaddaf or at one of our mobile blood donation drives. All donors receive a donor e-card - each time you donate, your card will reflect the number of donations you have made, and be upgraded the more times you give.

You can also become an Emergency Donor by adding your contact details to our system during registration. We will only contact you in critical cases where your blood donation could make a life-saving difference.
