The vehicles were ceremoniously handed over to the NBTS General Manager, Prof. Dora Mbanya by the Minister of Public Health, Dr. Manaouda Malachie who called on the recepients to utilize them diligently. The impact of these vehicles on the blood transfusion system cannot be overstated. According to Prof. Dora Mbanya, General Manager of the NBTS, the donation of these cars represents a significant stride towards improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations. With these vehicles, we will be able to expand our outreach programs, organise and conduct more mobile blood drives, and facilitate supervisory visits to Blood Transfusion Services across the country. The partnership of the NBTS with the Islamic Development Bank through the Project to Strengthen the National Blood Transfusion System PRESYNATS, has been instrumental in advancing its mission of saving lives through blood transfusion. Through this project, the NBTS has acquired land to build its headquarters and some Regional Blood Transfusion Services, capacity building has been enhanced both intellectually and logistically, with some 98 Transfusion Units, covering the 10 regions of the nation, being equipped for blood storage and distribution
