MTN Ghana Foundation Organizes Blood Donation Drive at KASS
From Ernest Best Anane, Kumasi
The MTN Ghana Foundation has organized a blood donation exercise at Kumasi Anglican Senior High School (KASS) to support the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) Blood Bank. The event, held towards Valentine’s Day, aims to promote voluntary blood donation, especially among young people.
Speaking at the event, MTN Ghana’s Northern Sector Manager, Nii Adotey Mingle, emphasized the importance of blood donation, saying, “The most precious gift you can give a person is life, and this Valentine’s Day, blood is the ultimate gift.”
The exercise, part of the Foundation’s “Save A Life” campaign, has been running for over 15 years and has consistently met or exceeded its targets. The blood collected will be supplied to KATH and other health facilities in the region.
Dr. Lesley Osei, Head of the Transfusion Medicine Unit at KATH, stressed the importance of sustained partnerships in stabilizing Ghana’s blood supply, noting that the country still falls short of the WHO’s recommended blood collection levelels
