MTN Ghana Foundation, Cal Bank Launch 2026 “Save A Life” Blood Donation Drive; Target 7,000 Units To Support National Blood Service

 MTN Ghana Foundation, in partnership with Cal Bank, will lead the 2026 “Save A Life” Blood Donation Drive with an ambitious target to collect 7,000 units of blood in a single day to support the National Blood Service and regional hospital blood banks across the country.

The nationwide event is scheduled for Friday, 13th February 2026, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with donation centres activated across all 16 regions of Ghana. Major collection points will be set up at the MTN Ghana Head Office, MobileMoney Ltd office at the Stanchart Building and Cal Bank Head Office at Ridge, Accra, alongside 44 designated centres nationwide to ensure maximum public participation.

Speaking ahead of the exercise, Samuel Bartels, Acting Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer at MTN Ghana, underscored the urgency and impact of the initiative: “Ghana still faces a significant blood shortage and every unit donated becomes a lifeline for someone’s parent, child, friend, or colleague. This campaign is not just another event. It is an act of love, a demonstration of leadership and a reaffirmation of our MTN value to lead with care.”

He called on all eligible donors, corporate institutions and the public to participate: “Blood is an essential resource, and the need for it never stops. We are appealing to Ghanaians everywhere—if you are able, please join us at any of the designated centres.

MTN Ghana Foundation, Cal Bank , Save A Life, Blood donation,

Your donation could save a mother, a child, or someone in emergency care. Together, we can make a real and lasting impact.”

Members of the public can access the full list of donation centres on MTN Ghana’s website and official social media platforms.

Since its inception in 2011, the MTN “Save a Life” campaign has grown into one of the country’s most impactful voluntary blood donation programmes. The initiative was launched in response to repeated appeals from the National Blood Service to address critically low blood supplies. To date, it has mobilised over 35,000 units of blood, helping save thousands of lives and supporting hospitals in life‑saving emergency and routine care.

The 2026 edition builds on this legacy—strengthening partnerships, expanding reach, and reinforcing MTN Ghana Foundation’s longstanding commitment to national health and community wellbeing.
