THE University of Guyana’s Department of Medical Technology in collaboration with the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) will be hosting a blood drive on Career/Open Day billed for Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2014, from 9:00am to 3:00pm.

This event will take place in the Conference Room of the Health Science Faculty of the University of Guyana. Thus far, twenty-five persons, who are students, have already pledged to donate blood during the event.
Moreover, this plan was spearheaded by the Department of Medical Technology to aid in displaying career paths relating to their courses.
According to a medical technology student at UG, “the blood bank is always in need of blood and since testing and blood work is a part of Medical Technology, we thought it was essential to have the National Blood Transfusion Service on board.”
However, this sector specifically offers the prospect to join an interesting yet unique career, with the aim of providing precise laboratory results to physicians for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.
