MTN Ghana Foundation in the Upper as part of their annual Valentine activity has organized a blood donation exercise in the Upper East Region.
The MTN blood donation target is to stock the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital blood bank in other to save lives.
In the Upper East Region, this year’s exercise which took place at Bolgatanga Gnat hall saw the majority of the people participating in the donation exercise.
Speaking to the media, the Territory Sales Controller for the Upper East Region Mr. Richard Asamane, explained the rationale and why MTN Foundation is taking up the initiative.
” For us at MTN, we have a culture and the belief that it is always a period around time to give a part of yourself to make another person’s life brighter and also put a smile on the face of another person.
You would agree with me that blood is what comes out of the human body and in a month of love and a period of love such as Valentine something from the part of your body is the greatest gift you can give to any human especially when it saves the life of that person.
“You know the issues about blood and the blood bank in the Upper East and how they constantly struggle to get blood to the patient. So, for us in MTN, we think it is a perfect time for each one f everyone to struggle to donate a part of yourself to make somebody’s life brighter and to put a smile on another person”.
“It has been an annual event but, over the last 2 years, we had to put a break to it because of COVID public restrictions and gathering and those issues that have to come with COVID protocols. But this year we are back”.
“We are targeting 400 units of blood for the Upper East Regional blood blank”. Mr. Asamane said
