SUPPORT SAVING LIFE
Stating that they will continue to support the blood donation campaign of the Turkish Red Crescent periodically, EGO Deputy General Manager Zafer Tekbudak gave the following information about the campaign he participated with EGO Deputy General Manager Halit Özdilek and EGO Service Improvement and Corporate Development Department Head Ayten Gök:
“Our colleagues in EGO 2nd Region are making a great effort every day to bring people back to their schools, jobs, homes and loved ones. Today, our staff are among us to donate blood by making another sacrifice. Saving a person's life is a lofty duty. When we give blood, the blood cells in our body are renewed and it also contributes to the elimination of ailments such as headache, high blood pressure, stress and fatigue. Blood donation rate has decreased during the pandemic process. If we participate sufficiently, we will contribute to blood donation. "
Turkish Red Crescent Regional Blood Center Director Dr. Murat Güler spoke as follows:
“We are happy to cooperate with the Metropolitan Municipality as the Turkish Red Crescent. There is a serious decrease in the rate of blood donation due to the pandemic, but our people started to come to our blood centers after the sensitive call was made. Blood stocks decreased, but thanks to these campaigns, we started to increase the stocks. We anticipate that we will experience an increase in our blood donation rate with the support of the Metropolitan Municipality. "
