Blood Donation

Latter-day Saints from the Yamoransa Stake (similar to a diocese) of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints shared a part of themselves through donating blood to those in need.  The donation occurred on May 6, at the Saltpond Municipal Hospital Blood Bank located in the Central Region of Ghana.

According to Mr. Richard Odoom, a senior laboratory technician, the Saltpond Municipal Hospital has not received blood donations from volunteers for more than a year.

“We depend largely on relatives of patients to donate blood.” he said. “This exercise with your church has been my pleasure to observe. You have eased the burden of people who are usually at the mercy of time when blood is not readily available in their time of need.”
