The working staff of Oilmin Holdings Limited recently supported the Port Moresby General Hospital (POMGEN) blood drive, with the donation of blood to POMGEN Blood Bank. Folding their sleeves at the Oilsmin’s Procurement and Logistics site at Gerehu, exactly 21 employees donated blood on Wednesday. The donation drive took place at Oilmin’s Procurement and Logistics Site at Gerehu in Port Moresby. The considerate employees underwent a standard screening process, which included providing personal information, checking weight, and monitoring blood pressure before ensuring they were fit to donate one bag of 400 millilitres of blood. Oilmin’s General Manager, Fintan Lalor, stated, “Oilmin’s happy to support the blood drive with 21 employees donating today. Supporting a worthy cause and looking forward to ongoing support with regular blood donations to the Port Moresby General Hospital.” Under the leadership of POMGEN head of Blood Bank, Mark Fetodi, the process was smooth thanks to a dedicated team of Community Health Workers consisting of Sr. Francis, Nurse Aua Donald and Nurse Doreen Mawiromo. “Thank you Oilmin for coming forward to donate blood during your busy schedule. Each bag collected today has the potential to save 3 lives,” said Mr. Fetodi. The Donation Drive drew volunteers from Oilmin’s head office, Cutler Point facility and Gerehu locations to the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Office which was set up to allow the POMGEN blood bank team to carry out donations. To support the volunteers, Nature’s Café provided light refreshments which helped donors before giving blood and helped them recover quickly after. Oilmin’s contribution towards the blood bank comes at a crucial time following affirmation that blood donations are needed.
