Nigeria far from achieving 100% voluntary blood donation — NBTS

Despite the importance of blood to human life and medical treatments, National Blood Service Commission (NBSC), says Nigeria is far from achieving 100% voluntary blood donations due to the poor culture of voluntary blood donation.

The Acting, Zonal director of NBSC, South West zone, Dr Oladapo Aworanti who disclosed this at Nigeria’s National Blood Donor Day and rally, in Ibadan, said Nigerians need to see blood donation as civil responsibility to ensure the country meets its demands for blood in medical care.
