The National Insurance Commission's (NIC) Central Regional branch has on Tuesday, August 9 help restocked the Cape Coast Blood Bank following its blood donation exercise held at its regional office in Cape Coast.

The annually held donation which seizes to help save individuals who are in dying need of blood in various hospitals within the Cape Coast Metropolis for survival saw people from all works of life, especially insurance personnels troop to the event grounds to donate to help save lives.

Speaking to the motivation which necessitated non other but an insurance institution as theirs to embark on such selfless activity, Madam Nicholina Naa Yeye Adumuah, the Central Regional Head for National Insurance Commission who led the shot to first donate her blood told Rainbow Radio's Eric Annan;

"The National Insurance Commission being the country's mother body in ensuring the regulation of Insurance has as an institution taken it upon ourselves to help the National Blood Bank which usually goes out of blood stock with an annual blood donation exercise to help save the lives of people like our maternity patients who will be in need of blood during child birth and accident victims."

"Many are of the view that one endangers him or herself when he/she donates blood, as such person turn to loss a lot of energy in doing so which is a myth. The blood bank on the hand uses these collected bloods for a very legitimate assignment and not a bad one as others have in mind after making it go through series of processes before usage, therefore encourages all to devote and donate their blood to help save a life," the insurance specialist said.

Adding that blood is not a commodity which can be purchased in the store but from devoted individuals.
