ShareKUWAIT: On International Nurses Day, Sudanese Ambassador to Kuwait Awadal-Karim Al-Rayah Balla participated in a blood donation campaign organized by the Sudanese Nursing Association in Kuwait on Monday at the Blood Bank under the slogan “Our Hands for the Nation, Our Hearts for Humanity - Giving, Health, and Humanity.” The initiative was held in appreciation of Kuwait and its noble stances toward Sudan.
Speaking to Kuwait Times, the ambassador expressed his gratitude to Kuwait, saying “With its generous spirit, Kuwait has provided wide employment opportunities for Sudanese medical professionals. Over 2,000 Sudanese medical personnel, including consultants, specialists, general practitioners, and dentists, work in Kuwait. This is in addition to allied health professionals such as nurses, lab technicians, radiologists, anesthetists, and biomedical engineers, distributed across both the public and private sectors.”
The ambassador added that the initiative by the Sudanese Nursing Association is a sincere expression of gratitude and loyalty to Kuwait, which has always supported Sudan in the fields of development and humanitarian aid. Over 150 donors participated in the campaign, which will continue on Friday, May 16, from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM, specifically to accommodate residents of remote areas.
He pointed out that Sudanese nursing staff in Kuwait have left a significant mark, as reflected in the ceremony held by the Association last year, attended by a large number of leading nursing officials in Kuwait, including the Director of Nursing Services at the Ministry of Health, the representative of the Undersecretary of the Ministry, and heads of nursing departments in both public and private hospitals. The ambassador affirmed that Sudanese-Kuwaiti relations are characterized by growth and prosperity and continue to witness remarkable development, thanks to the wise leadership in both countries.
He stated: “Truly, words cannot express our gratitude to Kuwait and to all its institutions and charitable organizations that responded swiftly to the humanitarian crisis in Sudan. In return for this generosity, Sudan hopes, once the war ends, that Kuwait will be at the forefront of nations contributing to investment and reconstruction projects that benefit both countries.” A large number of Sudanese expatriates residing in Kuwait responded to the humanitarian call, coming from various regions such as Wafra, Abdali, Kabd, Jahra, Sulaibiya, and Fintas, in a gesture of appreciation and gratitude to Kuwait. The campaign was also attended by the Head of the Kuwait Nursing Association, Muhammad Saleh Assaf.
