Cameroon Begs Civilians to Donate Blood on World Blood Donor Day

Cameroon Begs Civilians to Donate Blood on World Blood Donor Day Voice of America 15 Jun 2021, 06:05 GMT+10 YAOUNDE, CAMEROON - Medical authorities in Cameroon marked World Blood Donor Day on Monday with continued pleas for blood donors, after a dramatic drop in donations over the past year. Donations fell by half in 2020, then by nearly half again so far this year, worsening the country s blood shortage. Officials in Cameroon point to 32-year-old Alphonse Suh Chia as a good example of a determined, voluntary blood donor. Chia says he became a blood donor in February, after he watched as a 6-year-old boy died of severe anemia in the Central Hospital in Yaounde. He says the medical staff members on duty told him that the blood bank was dry and there was no one to donate blood to save the child s life.
