Marking its 18th anniversary, Ncell Axiata in Kathmandu organizes the Blood Donation Programme
Commemorating its 18th anniversary, Ncell Axiata Limited organized a blood donation program on Tuesday at its corporate office, Ncell ICON in Lainchaur, Kathmandu.
Over 100 individuals participated in this program and donated blood. The general public, customers visiting Ncell ICON, and Ncell employees donated blood during the program, which was organized in collaboration with Hamro Life Bank.
Blood donors will receive an SMS notification when their donated blood is used in a hospital to save or improve patients’ lives. Living to its brand promise, ‘Today. Tomorrow. Together.’, Ncell organized the blood donation program under the anniversary theme ‘Here for You’. Blood donation is a vital part of healthcare throughout the world and contributions will save many lives, especially during emergency situations.
