MAKATI CITY — The Makati City Government, through the Makati Action Center in partnership with the Makati Health Department and Ospital ng Makati, is hosting a two-day Mass Blood Donation Activity on July 22 and 23, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Ground Floor of Makati City Hall Building II. The event invites all qualified residents and city employees to participate in this life-saving initiative, reinforcing the city's commitment to public health and community welfare. With hospital blood banks often facing critical shortages, particularly during the rainy season when dengue cases rise, this drive aims to ensure a steady and sufficient blood supply for patients in need across Makati.
A Call to Become a Life Saver
The bloodletting activity is open to all eligible donors, with health teams from the Makati Health Department and Ospital ng Makati conducting necessary medical screenings to ensure the safety of both donors and recipients. A single blood donation can save up to three lives, making every participant a potential hero in the community. The city government encourages residents to come prepared, get adequate rest, and refrain from consuming alcohol 24 hours before donating to ensure a smooth and successful donation process.
Strengthening Community Health and Solidarity
This initiative is part of Makati's broader commitment to public health and its encouragement of a culture of volunteerism and compassion among residents. By providing accessible donation sites within the city hall complex, the local government makes it easier for employees and nearby residents to contribute to this noble cause. The mass blood donation drive not only addresses immediate healthcare needs but also fosters a spirit of bayanihan, demonstrating that collective action can make a tangible difference in the community.
