The donation drive was held at the following locations:

This 17^th blood donation drive is a powerful testament to our employees’ spirit of volunteerism. As a leading local operator, we recognize our profound responsibility to support the nation’s health infrastructure. This initiative is a direct lifeline for those in critical need, and we are committed to continuing this vital program. We extend our deepest gratitude to every employee and volunteers, every donor, our partners at the National Blood Center and regional hospitals for their flawless arrangement. We will continue this mission, together.”

One of the volunteers, Ma Thidar Lwin, shared her heartfelt experience: “This is my 14^th time donating as part of the MPT blood drive. The deep satisfaction and joy you feel after donating is something truly special—those who’ve done it know the feeling well! I want to tell everyone who hasn’t donated yet: put your worries and fear aside. Remember that this small act of generosity is a lifesaver for someone else. Come and be a part of this movement for good! And to the MPT, thank you deeply for making this event possible.”
