ESA actively participates in activities for World Blood Donor Day
On Monday 12 June, ESA organised a voluntary blood donation in partnership with Evangelismos Hospital. Within the World Blood Donor Day on 14 June, we welcomed – at ESA’s Learning Centre – a team of socially aware colleagues from CORDIA & SKYMAR (members of CORDIA Group) – in an altruistic blood donation drive.
This year, the main message of World Blood Donor Day was “Make the world a safer place. Safe blood saves lives”. As we are deeply aware of the meaning of security and the benefits of feeling safe, ESA supports the action plan of the Hellenic National Public Health Organisation and its basic pillars, which aim to:
- encourage all those who want to start donating blood;
- highlight the need for regular donation throughout the year;
- achieve universal and timely access to safe blood transfusion;
- mobilise society to invest in, reinforce, and maintain national blood programmes.
Following this successful action, ESA provided the members of its staff who took part in this voluntary donation with sandwiches, cakes, cereal bars, crackers, juices, and water, and made another date for next year.
