This is not the first time that Kaieteur News is being utilized as a blood donation site. According to Kristen Calder, Donor Attendant, Kaieteur News was selected as one of the five sites involved in the blood drive because of responses from previous exercises.
The one-week exercise has already gained over 77 units of blood. The blood received from donors will be taken to the National Blood Bank for further testing. An initial precautionary counseling was done to prepare donors. Three donors who approached Kaieteur News’s donation site were deferred.
The team will be conducting blood drives at Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, Lion’s Club Headquarter, and GuyExpo.
