Holy Family Hospital has received a significant boost to its blood bank following a joint blood donation exercise by MTN Ghana and Buoyem Senior High School (SHS).
The initiative, aimed at supporting healthcare delivery and saving lives, brought together staff of MTN Ghana and students of Buoyem SHS in a coordinated effort to replenish the hospital’s blood reserves.

Medical staff supervised the donation process to ensure safety and adherence to health protocols. Donors were screened before the exercise, and participants were educated on the importance of regular blood donation.
The collaboration between MTN Ghana and Buoyem SHS has been widely commended as a model partnership that demonstrates how corporate bodies and educational institutions can work together to strengthen healthcare delivery.
With the renewed supply of blood units, Holy Family Hospital is better positioned to respond to emergencies and provide critical care to patients in need.
