In commemorating the 20th anniversary of World Blood Donor Day, PTCL Group, Pakistan’s leading telecommunications and ICT services provider encompassing PTCL and Ufone 4G, continues its enduring legacy of compassion by sustaining crucial blood supplies through its annual blood donation drive.
This year, PTCL Group partnered with the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) for the drive, hosted at the iconic Ufone Tower in Islamabad. The management and employees of PTCL & Ufone 4G participated wholeheartedly, underscoring the importance of their contributions. This initiative forms a pivotal part of PTCL Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program, aimed at fostering shared value for fellow citizens and society.
World Blood Donor Day serves as a platform to raise awareness about the vital role of blood donations. PTCL recognizes that blood is an irreplaceable resource sourced solely from donors, crucial for medical treatments, surgeries, and emergencies, particularly for patients grappling with critical conditions such as thalassemia, anemia, cancer, and trauma.
The altruistic acts of blood donors annually save millions of lives, including those of children, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to mark the 20th Anniversary with gratitude to blood donors worldwide under the theme “20 years of celebrating giving: thank you blood donors!”
Syed Atif Raza, Group Chief Marketing Officer of PTCL & Ufone 4G, expressed profound appreciation to PRCS for their collaboration, highlighting how humanity and altruism form the bedrock of societal and cultural values, shaping PTCL Group’s vision for volunteerism, corporate philanthropy, and CSR. He reiterated PTCL Group’s steadfast commitment to fostering mutual empathy, solidarity, and social good while remaining dedicated to exploring avenues to create shared value and promote societal well-being.
PTCL Group actively contributes to society, the economy, and the environment through robust CSR and Volunteerism programs, firmly establishing itself as a conscientious and responsible corporate citizen of Pakistan.
