“Lavi nu fami pena pri”: this is the theme chosen for the Mega Blood Donation which will take place for four days (from 19 to 22 December) at the Esplanade de la Marie in Port-Louis.
The president of the Blood Donor Association, Devanand Hossen, stressed that there may be a shortage of pints of blood at the blood bank during the festive period.
“In this context, I ask the general public to come and donate their blood. We hope to reach 1,500 pints of blood during these four days. This noble gesture could save the lives of three people who have to undergo surgery or blood transfusions “says Devanand Hossen.
The president of the blood donor association points out that there will be fewer berths available this year than last year. He asks donors who have made the trip to be patient.
While explaining that many blood donors will retire in the coming days, Devanand Hossen says this will have a major impact on the blood bank. “Therefore, I appeal to young people to donate their blood to save lives”plead.
Mega blood donation: see you on Monday 19 December
