To strengthen voluntary blood donation awareness and support life-saving healthcare interventions in Nigeria, Total Health Trust (THT), a Tangerine Company and Tangerine Insurance, in partnership with the Lagos State Accident and Emergency Centre, has announced the 2026 edition of the Tangerine Blood Donor Drive initiative scheduled to hold on June 26, 2026, at the Sports Centre, University of Lagos (UNILAG).

The initiative, now in its fifth year, has served as a platform to promote awareness on the importance of voluntary blood donation in saving lives in hospitals and emergency care facilities.

Managing Director (MD)/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Total Health Trust (THT), Tonye Ukpong, said: “This initiative reflects a commitment to building healthier communities through action, advocacy, and collaboration.”

He added: “We are not only creating awareness about the importance of voluntary blood donation, but also fostering a culture where people understand that healthcare is everyone’s responsibility. We are proud to partner with stakeholders and volunteers who share this vision of saving lives together.”

According to the MD/CEO of Tangerine Life, Kehinde Borisade, the brand believes insurance is about protecting lives, not just through products, but also through actions. Our blood donation drive is a simple yet powerful way to give hope, save lives, and support communities. We are proud of every volunteer who will be making a difference, because together, we are creating impact where it matters most.”

Similarly, MD/CEO of Tangerine General, Ademayowa Adeduro, said every unit of blood donated represents an opportunity to save a life, adding that Tangerine is committed to fostering a culture of compassion, service, and shared responsibility.

Meanwhile, the event will feature professionally supervised blood donation stations, free health checks, wellness engagement activities, community participation opportunities, and interactive awareness sessions focused on public health and preventive care.

The campaign also aims to create a healthcare movement that encourages greater participation from various segments of residents across Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole.
