The National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) on Friday hosted its annual Blood Donor Award ceremony, an event held to reward and thank Guyana’s most committed blood donors and organisations which have helped in that regard.

In celebration of World Blood Donor Day, a number of committed blood donors were presented with commemorative awards at a ceremony which was held to recognise the invaluable contribution they have made to Guyanese healthcare. Additionally, organisations and companies that have collaborated with the NBTS were also presented with trophies.

The ceremony was held at the Herdmanston Lodge.
