Blood Transfusion Service of Namibia held donation events across three cities over the weekend. Workers collected blood at locations such as Windhoek, Ongwediva and Swakopmund during World Blood Donor Day celebrations. The annual event raises awareness about voluntary blood giving under the theme Give Blood, Give Hope - Together We Save Lives. About 1.2 percent of Namibians donate blood regularly and received recognition for their efforts. Namibia maintains one of the safest blood supplies worldwide through donor dedication and modern technology.

Marketing manager Zita Tobin encourages healthy people over 16 who weigh more than 50 kilograms to become donors. People should eat balanced meals before giving blood and maintain good health habits. State hospitals receive 83 percent of collected blood and private facilities use the rest. The organization runs 242 blood clinics across the nation after six decades of service. Blood donations help save many lives through emergency medical treatments and surgeries.

NamBTS honored longtime donors and community partners during a special ceremony last week. Schools, companies, media outlets and individuals received thanks for expanding the donor network. The service promises to maintain safe blood supplies for all citizens who need medical care. Officials expressed gratitude toward everyone who supports the blood donation mission. Regular donations ensure hospitals have enough blood for patients during emergencies.
