Every year thousands of cancer patients, accident victims, pregnant women, children under the age of five, patients suffering from sickle cell anaemia, and surgery patients all die in Nigerian hospitals because of shortage of blood. The problem is so vast that about 26,000 pregnant women alone die each year because of shortage of blood.
Which is why LifeBank is holding the largest blood drive ever in Nigeria to save 3,000 lives in Lagos. LifeBank is doing something to stop deaths due to blood shortage. They’re building a movement of ready young blood donors that will give blood every 3 months to prevent blood shortage related deaths in Nigeria.
Through the blood drive, LifeBank will collect 1,000 pints of blood for women, children and blood dependent patients across Lagos State. So, come have fun, get medical checkups, and save a life or three.
