A big thank you to everyone who turned out and generously donated blood at NIB 50th Anniversary Blood Drive, held in collaboration with Doctors Hospital, at NIB’s Headquarters on Baillou Hill Road, New Providence, Bahamas. Your incredible support has made this initiative a resounding success, marking the second initiative in our “Holistically Balanced - Spiritually, Mentally, Physically, and Financially” series of initiatives.

We extend our deepest appreciation to each donor for contributing to the well-being of our community. Your selfless act embodies the spirit of giving and compassion, and we are profoundly grateful for your commitment to saving lives.

As we celebrate our Golden Jubilee, we look forward to continuing our mission with another Blood Drive at the Freeport Local Office in Grand Bahama on February 29, 2024 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. We look forward to partnering with the Public Hospital Authority in Grand Bahama as we stand in solidarity to ensure that no life is lost because of a deficiency in the availability of blood.

We salute all our donors and thank you once again for being the heartbeat of our community and for helping us make a difference that truly matters.
