Members of the Lion’s Club of Durban Park donating blood yesterday at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation
As calls continue for voluntary donation of blood, members and friends of the Lion’s Club of D’Urban Park yesterday facilitated a blood drive as part of their 15th anniversary celebrations.
The aim was to have the club, through its members, donate 15 units to the National Blood Transfusion Service. Several members of the organisation were screened and tested prior to their donation.
According to one member, personnel from the Blood Bank had visited the organisation on several occasions to request that they participate in the blood drive.
While the target was not met yesterday, because some members were out of the jurisdiction, this newspaper was told that, when those persons return, they will be visiting the institution to donate blood.
