Siemens in association with
the National Blood Transfusion Center launches its first initiative for
blood donation
Tuesday 23rd of May 2006 marked the first blood donation day which comes as
part of Siemens worldwide initiative for enhancing corporate responsibility,
a duty which Siemens in Egypt strives to fulfill throughout all its
activities in the country. |
Siemens Egypt won the bid due
to its commitment in offering state-of-the-art technologies in the field of
telecommunication and information technology in addition to its long history
in contributing to the supply and execution of numerous fiber optic cables
networks for Telecom Egypt. The company has previously produced solutions
for old exchanges through providing state-of-the-art and wide-ranging
networks which link several exchanges in Egypt. This is considered part of
the company’s main initiative to improve local and international
communication services efficiency in the country since 1989.
Eng. Ahmed Khabiry, Vice President, Optical Networks, said: “Cairo has an
essential and strategic role in Egypt, as the capital and major center of
all investments in the country, where all presidential and governmental
associations are located. The importance of this project and the fact that
it cannot tolerate any errors has led to the collaboration of Telecom Egypt
and Siemens as one of the leading companies in this field.”
Eng. Ahmed Khabiry added that Siemens’ execution of this project is an
endorsement of Telecom Egypt’s initiative to supply Egypt with the latest
systems and technologies in the field of communication. Eventually this
would increase the efficiency of the digital services in Egypt and fit up
with the latest developments in the field of information technology
worldwide.

Studies have shown that donating blood may
reduce risk for heart disease, and stimulates
the generation of red blood cells. In patients
prone to iron overload, blood donation prevents
the accumulation of iron. This is in addition to
the psychological benefit of resulting from the
sense the donor has that he/she has made a
contribution and may have helped save a person's
life while fulfilling a social duty.
