MAPFRE staff donate blood

This month, several employees from MAPFRE Malta, which is comprised of MAPFRE Middlesea and MAPFRE MSV Life, will be celebrating World Blood Donor Day by donating blood towards the National Blood Transfusion Unit (NBTU).

MAPFRE Malta recognises the universal need for safe blood, which time after time has played a critical role in both treatments and urgent interventions, and will do its part in helping ensure that a safe and sustainable blood supply is readily available for those who need it.

The ability to ensure that there is an adequate supply of safe blood is solely determined by the regular donations made by voluntary blood donors.

Notwithstanding this, the NBTU in St Luke’s Hospital strive to generate public awareness on the matter and ensure that there is a sustainable provision of safe blood supply in the Maltese Islands.

The President and CEO of MAPFRE Middlesea, Felipe Navarro, who also participated in the initiative, said the company recognises the importance of blood donations.

“These blood donations continue to have a significant impact on many, and often the time, it can be a lifesaving action,” he said. “In light of this, I would like to extend my thanks to all other entities and individuals that continue to raise awareness and contribute towards this campaign.”

MAPFRE Malta is also giving some mugs to the NBTU so they can give it to the donors as a token of appreciation for their blood donation.

This campaign will continue to form part of MAPFRE Malta’s corporate volunteering initiatives, which are implemented through Fundación MAPFRE’s Volunteers Programme.
