Members of the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), Edo State Hospitals Management Board, on Monday, donated blood for use by indigent patients who are in urgent need of blood transfusion.
The donation was part of the first quarterly Ordinary General Meeting (OGM) of the association in 2021.
Declaring the event open, Dr Moses Imologomhe, the Managing Director of the Central Hospital, Benin, commended the association’s leadership and members for deeming it fit to donate for poor patients, adding that the gesture was timely because the public was not keen on blood donation.
Imologomhe, who decried the shortage of blood in hospitals, urged the public to cultivate the habit of periodic donation of blood to save lives.
