Navy conducts blood donation campaign in Northwestern Naval Command

As part of another Naval Social Responsibility (NSR) initiative, a blood donation campaign was held at the Northwestern Naval Command Hospital today (12th July 2024).

The Sri Lanka Navy has been conducting its NSR initiatives at the directives of the Commander of the Navy, Vice Admiral Priyantha Perera. In parallel with these initiatives, this blood donation campaign was held under the supervision of Commander Northwestern Naval Area, Rear Admiral Nalindra Jayasinghe. The prime motive of this magnanimous drive was to replenish blood stocks at the blood transfusion centre of the District Hospital - Mannar, following a request made by the hospital.

A large group of naval personnel from the Northwestern Naval Command volunteered to donate blood for this noble cause. The proceedings of the event were carried out with the assistance of medical staff of the Northwestern Naval Command Hospital as well as staff from the District Hospital – Mannar.
