Is my blood not good enough for you?

Pakistani blood cannot be used as it is on the list of risky countries.

Here is the feedback of a Pakistani who wanted to donate blood

I was casually walking in the Ibn Batuta Mall with a friend when I saw the Dubai Blood Donation Centre kiosk. The moment I saw it, I decided that I had to donate blood. A couple of girls sat behind the desk with hundreds of forms, while other volunteers walked around asking people to donate blood. 

My friend had to look after his daughter, so he decided to wait and watch while I went to donate blood. I walked towards the desk where the females were sitting. They were busy with other donors asking different questions and filling out the forms as I waited for my turn.

In a few minutes, the man ahead of me was done and my turn came.

“I want to donate blood,” I smiled.

“That’s why we are here sir,” she smiled back. “Please give me some details about yourself before we take blood from you.”

I started answering her questions as she frantically wrote on the form.
