Airtel Nigeria and the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, have collaborated to raise awareness for the commemoration of the World Blood Donor Day as Employees of Airtel under the banner of the Employee Volunteer Scheme organized a blood donation campaign to alleviate the plight of patients in hospital beds.

During the donation, a total of fifty six pints of blood were donated by fifty six employees in five hours, twenty six minutes.

According to Airtel, the donation demonstrates Employees commitment to touching lives and readiness to always go the extra mile in creating positive impact in the communities where it operates.

World Blood Donor Day has been celebrated annually since 2004, with the aim of improving the safety and adequacy of national blood supplies by promoting a substantial increase in the number of safe, voluntary, unpaid donors who give blood regularly.
