Under the guidance of the General Manager, Prof. Dora Mbanya, the female staff of the NBTS joined their peers nationwide to reflect on the contribution of women to the advancement of diverse sectors. For their part, women of the NBTS planned and carried out a number of activities, mostly aligned to the missions of the institution with regard to blood donation and sensitization of Cameroonians on the matter. In prelude to the 8 March festivities, the women organised a sensitization campaign at the Yaounde Parcours Vita and the Yaounde Conference centre where the Promote exhibition fare was ongoing. The women shared hundreds of informative flyers and educated Yaounde denizens on the importance of donating blood.
