The Saint Lucia Blood Bank Service recently received a donation of approximately 200 cases of Piton Malta and Crystal Clear water from Heineken St. Lucia Limited, which will be provided to individuals who donate blood.

The donation of the Piton Malta and Crystal Clear water was made to the Blood Bank Departments at the Millennium Heights Medical Complex and the St. Jude Hospital.

Senior Medical Technologist at the Blood Bank Department, Karen Louis expressed heartfelt gratitude to Heineken St. Lucia Ltd for the support they continue to provide to the Saint Lucia Blood Bank Service over the years.

“Heineken St. Lucia Ltd has partnered with the Department for over 15 years supplying beverages to our blood donors after donation. This simple act of generosity is important to us and aids us in the continuity of providing quality healthcare for all. We look forward to continuing this partnership with Heineken St. Lucia Ltd for many more years to come.”

Category Manager for Piton Malta Fern Wilson-Jean reaffirmed her organisation’s commitment to supporting the St. Lucia Blood Bank Service on its blood donation drive.

“We recognise that the Blood Bank across Saint Lucia plays a vital role in providing critical medical care and we are proud once again to be partnering with them. Piton Malta is centered around nourishment and care for our local families and our local communities and through our donation, the Blood Bank can give donors Piton Malta which is rich in Vitamin B. Basically a meal in a bottle, which is the perfect beverage to revitalize donors after donating blood.”

Saint Lucians are encouraged to visit the Blood Bank and donate blood to save a life.
