Accra, Feb. 13, GNA- The MTN Ghana Foundation will organise its annual “Save a Life” Blood Donation exercise on Friday, February 14, 2025.
The goal of the initiative is to collect 6,110 units of blood to help re-plenish the National Blood service and the blood banks of major regional hospitals throughout the country.
The event would take place on Valentines Day across all 16 regions of Ghana.
Nana Kofi Asare, the Acting Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer of MTN Ghana, said the Foundation initiated the blood donation exercise because of commitment to supporting the healthcare delivery system in the country.
“We are happy to continue this initiative to help save lives,” he said.
He said, “We encourage everyone who shares this vision to use this years Valentines Day celebration as an opportunity to demonstrate their love by donating a unit of blood.”
He said donors were encouraged to visit MTN Ghanas website and social media channels for details of the locations for the exercise throughout Ghana.
The MTN Save a Life Campaign is an annual blood donation initiative held on Valentines Day by the MTN Ghana Foundation.
It provides MTN staff and the public with the opportunity to donate blood to help replenish the National Blood Bank and regional hospitals.
The initiative began in 2011 in response to appeals from the National Blood Service for voluntary contributions to address the critically low blood supplies.
Over the years, the exercise has successfully raised over 29,000 units of blood.
