MTN’s dedication to the “Save A Life” initiative is praised by the National Blood Service’s CEO.

The 2025 “Save a Life” blood drive, which was conducted at 42 blood donation locations throughout the 16 districts of the nation, saw the MTN Ghana Foundation successfully collect 6,620 units of blood. Ghana’s severe blood supply crisis is addressed by this yearly program, which supports regional hospitals and the National Blood Service.

The Foundation’s dedication to expanding access to high-quality healthcare is demonstrated by the fact that this year’s goal was exceeded thanks to the generosity of MTN staff, partners, and the public.

Adwoa Wiafe, Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer at MTN Ghana, expressed her excitement over the success of this year’s campaign.

“We are thrilled to have surpassed the target for this year’s initiative,” she said. “I hope that this contribution helps to alleviate the shortage of blood supplies in our hospitals. At MTN, we are dedicated to making a meaningful impact on the communities we serve.”

Wiafe also extended her gratitude to all donors, healthcare partners, and volunteers involved in the initiative, adding,

“We remain committed to championing projects that improve lives and strengthen our communities.”

Dr. Shirley Owusu Ofori, Chief Executive Officer of the National Blood Service, commended the MTN Ghana Foundation for its unwavering dedication to replenishing the country’s blood reserves.

“The partnership between MTN Ghana Foundation and the National Blood Service has greatly promoted voluntary, unpaid blood donations, ensuring a steady supply of life-saving blood for patients in need,” she remarked.

The MTN “Save a Life” campaign is an annual blood donation drive held on Valentine’s Day and organized by the MTN Ghana Foundation.

It offers both MTN staff and the general public the opportunity to donate blood, helping to replenish the National Blood Bank and regional hospitals.

Launched in 2011, the initiative was created in response to appeals from the National Blood Service to address critically low blood supplies.
