Muslims in Rockhampton signed up to give blood on Friday as part of a Lifeblood drive to collect its required 31,000 weekly donations.
The Australian Islamic Medical Association organised the contributions at 12 locations across the country.
Doctor and Islamic Medical Association of Queensland member Jamal Tashkandi said the program was designed for “increasing the awareness and encouraging people to donate blood for the good cause”.
“One unit of blood might save multiple lives,” he said.
“Lifeblood collects or requires 30,000 units per week, so we are participating on that.
“We are very pleased to support this very noble cause.”
