Hallmark Health Service Limited (Hallmark HMO, a subsidiary of Consolidated Hallmark Insurance Plc) has sustained the annual blood donation partnership with the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) to beef up the blood bank of the foremost tertiary health institution.
The 2023 edition of the exercise was held in Lagos on Friday, June 16, at the corporate head office of the organisation in commemoration of the world blood donor day.
It witnessed an impressive turn out by both members of staff of associated companies in Consolidated Hallmark, some employees of other organizations and members of the public who heeded the call to help save lives.
In line with best practice, the health officials from LUTH conducted pre-donation screening of volunteers for safety, while also ensuring adherence to other guidelines.
Mrs. Oladotun Adeogun, Managing Director, Hallmark HMO stated that the annual blood donation collaboration with LUTH has come to stay, and that it is now an integral aspect of the Corporate Social Responsibility of the company, hence the sustenance and upscaling of the scope going forward. She said availability of blood in blood banks of health care providers for the needy remains crucial to help save lives, adding that every pint of blood donated may help save up to three lives.
Mrs. Adeogun expressed her appreciation to the officials of LUTH for the partnership in the exercise over the years and assured of a sustenance of the annual exercise.
She also used the occasion to express her gratitude to the Group Managing Director/CEO of Consolidated Hallmark, Eddie Efekoha for his immense support and belief in the project, which has ensured its success since commencement.
