IPT employees join forces with the Lebanese Red Cross to strengthen Lebanon’s blood supply and emergency preparedness. On an ordinary workday, a simple act inside the workplace turned into something far more powerful: the chance to save lives. IPT employees rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward to donate blood during a company-wide initiative organized in collaboration with the Lebanese Red Cross Blood Transfusion Services in Beirut and Jbeil.

For a few moments, titles and departments no longer mattered. Everyone stood together for the same reason: helping save lives. Blood donations remain one of the most critical resources for hospitals across Lebanon, supporting patients undergoing surgery, emergency care, and life-threatening treatments. Through their participation, IPT employees directly contributed to strengthening the national blood supply and supporting the lifesaving work of the Lebanese Red Cross.
But the day did not stop at giving. To reinforce the importance of preparedness in critical situations, employees also attended a special emergency response session led by Dr. Antoine Zoghbi, President of the Lebanese Red Cross and Emergency Director at Hôtel Dieu de France Hospital. His message was simple and powerful. When an accident happens, the first three minutes can determine everything.
During the session, participants explored real-life emergency scenarios that can occur in workplaces and everyday environments, including:
• How to react immediately to burns caused by fires or explosions
• How to recognize and respond to suffocation and heart attack emergencies
• Why emergency simulations in the workplace can save lives
• How proper emergency equipment and rapid reaction can stabilize a situation before professional responders arrive
The discussion transformed the initiative into something deeper than a donation campaign. It became a moment of awareness, responsibility, and readiness. IPT extends its sincere gratitude to the Lebanese Red Cross Blood Transfusion Services teams and Dr. Antoine Zoghby for their dedication and invaluable contribution to promoting lifesaving knowledge, health awareness, and emergency preparedness.
Because sometimes saving lives starts with a simple gesture. And sometimes a workplace becomes a community capable of making a real difference. Through initiatives like this, IPT continues to strengthen its commitment to community wellbeing, workplace responsibility, and meaningful social impact across Lebanon.
