Telecommunication giant, MTN Ghana, has supported the Eastern Regional Hospital with 255 pints of blood in Koforidua to improve quality healthcare delivery.
This forms part of the company’s annual blood donation exercise dubbed ‘Save A Life’.
The ‘Save a Life’ campaign organised on February 14, every year aims at mobilizing the public to voluntarily donate blood to support the Blood Bank of the Eastern Regional Hospital.
Over the years, the MTN Ghana Foundation has been committed to supporting the development of sustainable social interventions across the country.
The exercise took place at the Koforidua Technical Institute.
Speaking to the media later, MTN Regional Area Sales Manager for the Eastern, Volta, and Oti Regions, Ransford Gyan, said since its inception in 2011, the MTN Save a Life Campaign which has been in partnership with various institutions has yielded very positive results.
He disclosed that this year, MTN has set itself a target of 7,000 units of blood.
Madam Philomena Qauyson Regional Blood Donor at the Eastern Regional Hospital Blood Bank commended MTN for the initiative.
She was optimistic that the annual campaign by MTN would address critical gaps in the blood supply and also promote voluntary blood donation.
