For the second time over the past year, the Malta Environment & Planning Authority (MEPA) organised a blood donation drive for its employees, with the aim of helping sustain a healthy National Blood Bank.

With the mobile blood unit currently being refurbished, a meeting room within the MEPA premises was transformed into a blood donation unit whereby nurses and doctors set up their equipment to cater for this initiative.

MEPA Director for Corporate Services Ing. Ray Piscopo said, “We are aware that blood is a rare resource which until today cannot be manufactured, so it depends on the personal response of individuals to generate a sustainable supply. With the demand for blood rising, we are aware that by organising blood drives we can positively contribute to narrow the gap.”

“Most of all we are proud that our staff always responds so generously to this noble cause.” concluded Ing. Piscopo.

This initiative was organised between the Corporate Services Directorate within MEPA in collaboration with the Blood Transfusion Department.

The National Blood Transfusion Centre, which is situated in St. Luke’s Square Guardamangia. is open daily from 8.00a.m. until 6.00p.m., including Sundays and Public Holidays.
