Eric Mwenda: Honoring Blood Donors and Partnerships in Tanzania
Eric Mwenda, Regional Manager of East Africa at Terumo BCT, shard a post on LinkedIn:
“I am very honored to have spent world blood donor day with the Tanzania national blood service (Damu Salama) team which is very ably led by Dr Lelo Baliyima!
We as Terumo blood and cell technologies had the distinct honor of being recognized as a valuable partner by the blood service and receiving a partnership award presented by the guest of honor the Minister for Health Mhe Mohammed Mchengerwa!
In the same ceremony I had the distinct honor of witnessing the top Apheresis donors (On Trima) being awarded for their unwavering commitment to donating on our platform.
We look forward to continuing to partner in unlocking the potential of blood with the NBS.
Special thanks to our local partners in Tanzania Bahari Pharmacy Ltd and the wider blood bank team across Tanzania that continues to use our technology daily! Finally my profuse thanks to the East Africa team and our leadership!”
