Ramotar responds to blood crisis

PPP, presidential candidate, Donald Ramotar donating blood on Wednesday

People’s Progressive Party presidential candidate Donald Ramotar on Wednesday heeded a call by the National Blood Transfusion Service by donating blood to the unit.

Ramotar, who has been a voluntary donor in the past, visited the NBTS and complimented the staff for the modern setting and professional service. According to a release from the PPP, Ramotar also expressed hope that Guyanese will donate to the blood bank as he described such a gesture as “important as it will save lives.”

“I would like to encourage all Guyanese who are qualified to give blood to come forward and do so as it is a very worthy cause. It is one of the best donations you can give to someone as they say blood is life. I see it as a great humanitarian service.”

The PPP general secretary also pledged to continue being a voluntary donor and urged persons to dispel myths which prevent them from coming forward and donating.
