Facebook Partners With the Namibian Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) to Boost Blood Donations in the Country

The world’s leading social media company and technology enabler, Facebook has signed off an agreement with the Namibian Mininstry of Health and Social Services and the Namibian Blood Transfusion Service (NamBTS). Together, they have launched a new feature to encourage people to donate blood. Starting today, Namibians who are between 18- 65* years old, will have the option to sign up as blood donors on Facebook, be notified when blood donor centers near them have an urgent need for donations and invite friends to donate.

Earlier, Facebook had announced it has partnered with Zimbabwe to boost blood donation in the country.

How It Works

People between the ages of 18 – 65 in Namibia can sign up to be a blood donor on Facebook by going to Blood Donations in the About section of their profile, or access the link: www.Facebook.com/donateblood.

People will be able to see requests and opportunities to donate on Blood Donations on Facebook on their mobile devices from nearby donation sites.

The feature also launched in Chad, Guinea and Mali today, making it available in 12 countries across Africa. It is already available in the following countries across the region: Senegal, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Niger, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Since launching in 2017 more than 70 million people have signed up to be blood donors on Facebook through partnerships with blood donation centers around the world.

This initiative comes at a crucial time due to the impact of the pandemic, resulting in countries starting to see a significant drop in blood donations as people stay home to prevent the spread of COVID-19, despite the World Health Organization saying that it is still safe to donate blood.

Commenting on the partnership, Kojo Boakye, Public Policy Director Facebook Africa said: “COVID-19 has changed how and where people can give blood, causing countries around the world to experience shortages of voluntary blood donations at this critical time. In keeping with our Mission, we recognized the role Facebook can play in connecting people that want to donate blood with opportunities to do so. The partnership with the Namibian Blood Transfusion Service (NamBTS) and the Ministry of Health and Social Services is such an important one. We strongly believe it will enable Namibians to make a positive impact to the blood donation ecosystem in the country.”

  19. Definitely consider that that you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to
    be on the net the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider
    worries that they plainly do not realize about.
    You controlled to hit the nail upon the top as neatly as outlined out the entire
    thing without having side-effects , other people could take a signal.
    Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
