City Hall men give blood for PNRC bank
THE City Health Office conducted a blood letting/blood donation activity among city government employees on August 5 at the City Museum in coordination with the Philippine National Red Cross Dagupan Chapter and the Philippine Association of Medical Technologies, Pangasinan Chapter.
Some 30 bags of blood were collected from volunteers.
“This is in preparation for the full implementation of a voluntary blood donation services project in the 31 barangays in the city called ‘Blood Saves Lives’,” the city health officer said. The participants were given health cards that entitles them priority assistance in case they request for blood donation.
The activity not only augmented and replenished the existing inventory of blood at the Red Cross, but also established a registry of voluntary blood donors among city government employees and a record of their blood type. (Sheila H. Aquino)
