About ‘Save a Life Campaign’
The MTN ‘Save a Life Campaign’ is an annual blood donation initiative held on Valentine’s Day, organised by the MTN Ghana Foundation. It provides MTN staff and the general public with opportunity to donate blood and help replenish the National Blood Bank and regional hospitals.
This initiative began in 2011 in response to appeals from the National Blood Service for voluntary contributions to address the critically low blood supplies. Over the years, the exercise has successfully raised over 29,000 units of blood.
