The Guinness World Record has recognized a record set by the Trauma Care International Foundation (TCIF), an arm of the Pastor Chris Foundation for ‘the most people to sign up to donate blood in 8 hours-multiple venues’.
The organisation championed the voluntary blood donation campaign with remarkable participation from new voluntary blood donors.
More than 3,400 voluntary blood donors signed up at multiple designated venues and hundreds of them donated their blood.
This record blood donation campaign was achieved through partnership with various stakeholders including the Volunteer Medical Corps, the National Blood Transfusion Service, and the Lagos State Blood Transfusion Commission, the Federal Road Safety Corps, Christ Embassy Churches and other corporate bodies.
Trauma Care International Foundation was born out of the Healing School of Christ Embassy. It is on a mission to improve the health status and life expectancy of local communities, nations and regions by promoting improved trauma care and emergency response services. The NGO’s blood bank campaigns are directly connected to this global mandate.
The Trauma Care International Foundation has eyes on June 30, 2019, 2 weeks after the World Blood Donor Day, to exceed the target that has been set already.

According to the World Health Organization; an adequate supply of safe blood for transfusion in every nation can only be achieved by voluntary unpaid blood donations.
