MeDirect has continued its blood donation campaign with a group of employees visiting the National Blood Transfusion Centre in Gwardamangia for the third time in less than 12 months. This initiative will continue in the months ahead with further blood donations being organised by MeDirect on a quarterly basis.
Blood donations from the public are vital in helping all of Malta’s public hospitals to deliver essential services. These include facilitating major surgeries and the treatment of cancer patients. All healthy persons aged between 17 and 68 can donate blood with males able to donate every 3 months and females every 4 months until one year after the menopause when they can also start donating every 3 months.
Emma Camilleri, Chief People Officer at MeDirect Malta, said, “Every drop of blood donated has the potential to save lives. This makes blood donations a powerful symbol of compassion and solidarity. We are incredibly grateful to our MeDirect colleagues who continue to offer their unwavering support to this campaign.”
