Youth Networking & Collaboration

In commemoration of World Blood Donor Day, Blood Cells Rescue Initiative in partnership with Enugu Branch and took to the streets with purpose and passion, leading an awareness walk from ESUT Parklane Hospital to the National Blood Service Agency.

We were honoured to host a thought-provoking panel session featuring Prof. Tessa Nwagha, Dr. Kingsley Agu, and Dr. Onyinye Eze, who shared deep insights on the life-saving power of voluntary blood donation.

The day culminated in a successful blood drive, reminding us that every drop counts, and every donor is a hero.

Together, we’re building a culture of compassion, one pint at a time.
