“As a network for the people, we strongly believe that when an individual for that matter the people is healthy, the network will grow and expand more and so, we do this every year to showcase our love to all by giving blood to hospitals to save the lives of patients who need it “, Abugbilla Matthew explained.
He commended the donors for their gesture and encouraged more participation in the future.
The exercises were carried out in the Sawla Senior High School and the Damongo town clinic in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba and West Gonja district and Municipality, respectively, where students and the general public actively participated.
