Accordingly, the blood donation campaign organized by the Eastern Naval Command under the supervision of Commander Eastern Naval Area was held at the Preschool of SLNS Tissa on 16th May 2022. The objective of this event was to replenish blood stocks at the blood bank of District General Hospital Trincomalee.
