It is held as one of major CSR activities of MPT as blood is the most precious gift that anyone can give to another person- the gift of life and MPT would like to give this gift to people in Myanmar.
According to WHO announcement in 2017, Myanmar sourced approximately 80% of blood donations from voluntary, unpaid donors. Every day, millions of people in the country require safe blood (uncontaminated blood) for blood transfusion and MPT intends to fill the gap as much as possible with the help of staff and volunteers.
MPT’s blood donation activity is one of the CSR initiatives which support our community in collaboration with the volunteers from public to bring positive changes/effect to community. Since 2016, MPT has started nationwide blood donation campaigns and has carried out 3 times a year in collaboration with public and other social organizations before it was halted due to the peak of COVID-19 cases in 2019. Total number of blood bags contributed for the society from 2016 to 2019 is over 10,000 and total number of participants is about 7,000.
Blood donation is the noble activity for Myanmar people and MPT will continue this good practice. Other CSR efforts in various field including Health, Education and Business incubation are also MPT’s commitment to show that Myanmar is always in our Heart.
