KUWAIT CITY, Jan 31: The Embassy of India in Kuwait, in collaboration with the Indian Doctors Forum, organized a highly successful blood donation camp at the Al Adan Hospital.

The distinguished gathering at the event included His Excellency Dr. Ahmad Al Awadhi, Minister of Health for the State of Kuwait; His Excellency Dr. Adarsh Swaika, the Ambassador of India to Kuwait; Dr. Hussein Jasser, Director of Al Adan Hospital; Dr. Reem Al Radwan, Director of Kuwait Central Blood Bank; and Dr. Hanan Al Awadhi, Medical Director of Kuwait Central Blood Bank and Dr Diwakar Chaluvaiah, President of IDF.

A significant turnout of members from the Indian community actively participated as donors, underscoring the annual tradition of thousands of Indian citizens in Kuwait generously donating blood.

This event not only served as a testament to the Indian community's altruism but also showcased their preparedness to meet Kuwait's medical needs.

In an ongoing commitment to community well-being, the Indian Embassy, Indian Doctors Forum, and various Indian community associations in Kuwait consistently organize blood donation and free medical camps.

In 2023 alone, the Embassy and IDF jointly organized three free medical camps, while over 50 blood donation camps were independently conducted by various Indian associations in Kuwait.

Beyond the vital act of blood donation, the event also spotlighted the substantial contribution of the Indian community to the medical field in Kuwait.

A significant number of Indian doctors, paramedical professionals, and nurses are actively engaged in both government and private hospitals, earning recognition for their expertise, diligent work ethic, and compassionate care. The Indian medical community remains a preferred choice due to their commendable qualities and dedication.
