The Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry Limited (GBTI) on Thursday hosted its annual blood drive at its Water Street branch and its staff donated 25 units.
A press release from the bank said that Thursday’s blood drive marked eight years since GBTI has been collaborating with the Ministry of Public Health/National Blood Transfusion Service, in accordance with the observation of World Blood Donor Day, celebrated on June 14th.
Juanita Persaud, Water Street Branch Manager, said the decision to proceed with the activity was made, after it was viewed as a Corporate Social Responsibility, while staying in line with COVID-19 precautions.
