Premium International Ltd. recently organised a Blood Donation Campaign at the Lady Ridgeway Hospital (LRH) for Children in Colombo. This was a voluntary blood donation drive organised by Premium in order to strengthen the national campaign which has been initiated by the National Blood Transfusion Services (NBTS).

The initiative was jointly organised along with the staff of the Lady Ridgeway Hospital under the supervision and support of the National Blood Transfusion Services, whose team of medical experts were present at the event. 

All Premium International employees, their families and friends were encouraged to donate blood and over 100 donors supported the cause. National Blood Transfusion Services was able to collect 92 units of blood during the program. The event was graced by NBTS Director Dr. Rukshan Bellana, LRH Consultant Transfusion Physician Dr. Dharshanika Premawardena, LRH Director Dr. W.K. Wickramasinghe and LRH Deputy Director Dr. Lalith Poddalgoda along with other medical officers at NBTS and LRH. 

Premium believes in giving back to the community and getting involved. The blood donation campaign, as a part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) agenda, was of high importance for Premium International as it strives to enhance the company’s commitment to creating a healthier life for the local community. At Premium, CSR is considered an integral part of its culture as opposed to simply a business practice.
