PASKEN. TO ALL THE GUESTS AND DONORS WHO ARE HERE
WITH US TODAY, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS EVENT MORE
SIGNIFICANT NOT JUST FOR THOSE WHO WILL RECEIVE THIS
BLOOD BUT ALSO TO ME.

BLOOD CAN SAVE LIVES IN MANY WAYS – FROM HELPING

VICTIMS OF ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS TO REPLACING BLOOD
LOST DURING SURGERY.
BUT AS HEALTHCARE DEVELOPS, EVER-MORE BLOOD IS
NEEDED TO ENABLE THESE NEW THERAPIES AND PROCEDURES.
YET MANY COUNTRIES STRUGGLE TO COLLECT ENOUGH
BLOOD, EVEN FOR THEIR MOST BASIC NEEDS. WHICH MAKES ME
THANKFUL TO ALL OF YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN THIS EVENT.
SINCE I HAVE STARTED PUBLIC SERVICE, I’VE ALWAYS BEEN IN
OWE WITH THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO KNOWS HOW TO HELP,
THOSE WHO CAN MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT FOR THE
BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITY.

THIS ACTIVITY --- PLEDGE 25 PROGRAM, IS A TESTIMONY OF

GOOD DEEDS AND LIFE-SAVING ADVOCACIES WHCH EMBODIES
THE MAIN PURPOSE OF HEALTH SECURITY AND INTEGRITY IN
TERMS OF PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE IN THE COUNTRY. I
CONSIDER YOU, YOUNG PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE COURAGE TO
TAKE THIS KIND OF RESPONSIBILITY AS BRAVE INDIVIDUALS
AND GOAL-DRIVEN YOUTH OF THIS GENERATION.

I BELIEVE, ONE OF THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS ACTIVITY IS TO

SECURE ENOUGH BLOODS IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES SUCH AS
ACCIDENTS AND SUSTAINABILITY OF HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN
THE PROVINCE AND THE COUNTRY. TODAY, MOST MEDICAL
CARE DEPENDS ON A STEADY SUPPLY OF BLOOD FROM DONORS,
AS ONE IN SEVEN PEOPLE ENTERING THE HOSPITAL NEED
BLOOD. AND SO, IT IS IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE AND RESERVE
MORE STOCKS OF BLOOD FOR FUTURE USE. I COMMEND YOUR
INITIATIVE IN TAKING PART TO THIS ACTIVITY. I WOULD LIKE
ALSO TO COMMEND THE ORGANIZERS FOR CONDUCTING THIS
ACTIVITY.
