The Mayor of the Dutch city of Rotterdam, Ahmad Abu
Taleb, recently expressed delight over his visit to the State
of Kuwait and hailed the current status of cooperation
between both countries in all domains, especially in the
economic field.
On the conclusion of his visit to the KOC Display Center
in the attendance of Ahmadi Governor Sheikh Dr. Ibrahim
Al-Duaij Al-Sabah, the accompanying delegation and a
number of officials, Abu Taleb said that the State of Kuwait
plays an important role in the business sector of Holland due
to the activity of the Kuwaiti oil refinery in his city. He added
that further efforts were under way to enhance this role.

In a statement he made to Energy, Abu Taleb stated that the
Kuwaiti refinery in Rotterdam, in spite of its importance, was
of medium size and that his visit was intended to proceed
with talks he began in Kuwait last year on the expansion and
development of the refinery.
In response to a question about the possibility of twinning
the cities of Kuwait and Rotterdam, he affirmed that the
relations between both countries were strong and that both
sides were looking forward to a more advanced form of
cooperation while working together for their mutual benefit
and interest.

Ahmadi Hospital Organises Blood Donation Campaign
Al-Abbasi: Blood Donation is a Noble Humanitarian Cause
Ahmadi Hospital recently organized its Annual Blood Donation Campaign in
collaboration with the Kuwait Central Blood Bank. Ag. Ahmadi Hospital Director, Dr.
Aref Al-Abbasi, oversaw the event, which attracted a large number of employees.
Dr. Al-Abbasi emphasized that the organization of this yearly campaign was intended
to help the Blood Bank cope with the needs of hospitals, especially after surgeries,
accidents and emergencies.
“Blood donation has a noble humanitarian goal because the donor, by giving his or
blood, saves the life of a person unknown to him but who badly needs blood,” he said.
Dr. Al-Abbasi maintained that the donated blood is transferred to the Kuwait Central
Blood Bank and that, during the usual blood tests, the donor may discover that he or
she is not able to donate because of some health problems, which in turn is a benefit
for them because it serves as a preventative check.
Ahmadi Hospital, a pioneer in such humanitarian efforts, is one of the first ten partners
of the Kuwait Central Blood Bank, which also responds to the hospital’s needs in
emergency cases.
