Several members of staff at the Middlesea Group today donated blood at the Blood Donation Mobile Unit which was stationed in front of Middlesea House, the Company's premises in Floriana, specifically for this occasion.

This altruistic gesture was yet another way in which the Middlesea staff members expressed their solidarity with those less fortunate in a concrete manner, while at the same time, helping to create greater awareness of the urgency and significance of blood donation in Malta.

The employees said that such a small deed may well help save a life. Representatives of the Blood Donation Mobile Unit explained that blood transfusions were a very regular occurrence taking up the bulk of the bank's reserves. In fact, an average of 50 units of blood a day are utilised in hospital.  Gestures such as this, by the Middlesea employees, are very welcome and hopefully serve as an example for others to follow. It may also induce those who have donated blood a first time to make it their duty to become regular blood-donors.

This worthy initiative was taken in collaboration with the Blood Bank with the full support of the Middlesea administration.
