MEGA Blood donation

Radio Plus was associated to the Mega Blood Donation, held on 21 December 2016, at the Emmanuel Anquetil Building, Port Louis. Around 1,803 pints of blood were collected and some 2,000 persons donated their blood. It is to be recalled that last year 1,900 pints of blood were collected during a similar event. The blood collection campaign aims at securing an adequate and reliable blood bank in order to cater for the peak demand of blood especially during the months December 2016 and January 2017. Mega Blood Donation 2016 was jointly organised by the Ministry of Health and Quality of Life and Blood Donors Association and was visited by eminent personalities. The Mega Blood Donation is an annual event, held since 2014.
