BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya, (PNA) — A civil society organization in this town is conducting a bloodletting campaign to reinforce the blood supply of the Nueva Vizcaya Blood Bank (NVBB).
Dr. Anthony Parong, spokesperson of the Nueva Vizcaya Bayombong Group Inc.(NVBAGI), said they decided to conduct the activity near cemeteries in this town and in Solano in time for the All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day observance to attract more blood donors.
“Though we expect to get more donors from the crowd in the cemeteries, these donors will still be processed and screened the usual way,” he said.
Parong said the bloodletting activity is a yearly activity of the NVBAGI to help in sustaining the availability of blood supply in the NVBB managed by the Philippine Red Cross.
