The Trincomalee branch of the People’s Leasing and Finance PLC (PLC) hosted a blood donation campaign for the second time.
In a context where community resistance is high in the area towards donating blood due to associated misconceptions, the branch positively responded to the annual request made by the Trincomalee General Hospital, coinciding with the branch anniversary celebrations.
Led by M. Kirupakaran, the manager of the Trincomalee Branch and his team, the blood donation drive was organised in line with the 19th anniversary celebrations of the branch, with staff volunteering their time, efforts and resources for the successful completion of the campaign.
The generous act of solidarity, marked the participation of 156 people including PLC staff members who voluntarily donated blood. The branch team contributed to collect 156 blood pints, marking the district’s highest volume of collected blood at a campaign.
The initiative was ably supervised and resourced by Consultant M.F. Zeena Zanooz, Dr. W.C.M. Samaraweera, Dr. P. Britikka and Coordinator Mrs. S. Theivendran of the Trincomalee General Hospital.
