On Friday, October 30 the U.S. Embassy in Ouagadougou organized a blood drive in support of the National Blood Transfusion Center (CNTS). From the early hours of the day until noon, Embassy staff lined up to donate blood. In total, 35 blood bags were collected. Each day, blood is needed to save lives in Burkina Faso and around the world. We encourage others to do the same. If interested, please contact CNTS at this toll-free number: (+226) 78 47 77 77. As CNTS slogan says: “Nobody should die for lack of blood.”
