The Ho chapter of Rotary Club on Saturday (27 August) organised a free health screening and raised 158 units of blood in Amedzofe of the Volta Region.
Members of Lions Club and the locals also participated in the event. The blood was later donated to the Ketu South Municipal Health Directorate, Aflao.
The Medical laboratory scientist at Ketu South Municipal Hospital, Eric Kwaku Darko said the blood will help take care of emergency situations in the municipality.
“If you donate blood today, trust me, you may think that you’re doing it for the good of generality but trust me, a family of you may be the beneficiary of the blood you’re donating today,” Susana Delali Akosua Kudjoe, a patron from Ho club said.
The exercise was in partnership with the Ho Teaching Hospital, Ketu South Municipal Hospital, Salaria Eye Clinic, Amedzofe College of Education, including Lions Club.
The president of the Ho Rotary Club, Simon Fafali Awumey said the club has recently “donated a mobile clinic van to the Ho Teaching Hospital and it cost us almost about US$198,000.00 and soon we will commission that for the whole public to know”.
