A few more than 136 troops serving under the Security Force HQ-Wanni heeding the SOS need voluntarily came forward to donate their blood to the Blood Bank at Vavuniya District Hospital on Saturday (24) during arrangements that had been made at the Army Field Hospital of the Security Force Headquarters-Wanni.
Wanni-based Officers and Other Ranks considering the humanitarian nature of the requirement of the Vavuniya Blood Bank readily offered their blood in order to save the lives of patients under treatment in the hospital. The medical staff at Vavuniya District Hospital praised the Army for the gesture and thanked the Commander Security Forces- Wanni for the support since the Blood Bank has run short of much-needed blood.
During the blood donation project, Warrant Officer II, D.M.D.R Priyanka of the Sri Lanka Sinha Regiment and the Staff Sergeant B.D.L.P Tilakasiri of the Vijayabahu Infantry Regiment who had donated blood 37 times and 45 times respectively received tokens of appreciation and certificates from Blood Bank officials.
