𝗩𝗜𝗧𝗔-𝗙𝗟𝗢𝗪: 𝗔 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 🩸

Some acts are simple—but their impact lasts a lifetime.

As part of the National Programs of JCI Philippines under Hearty Healthy Philippines, JCI Catanduanes, in partnership with Catanduanes Doctors Hospital Inc., Catandunganon Heras ng Buhay sa Isla Foundation, and First Hermes Diagnostic, calls on every willing heart to take part in VITA-FLOW: A Blood Donation Drive for Life and Hope on May 18, 2026 at Catanduanes Doctors Hospital.

This initiative goes beyond preparation—it is a lifeline. It is a vital effort to help replenish the hospital’s blood bank ahead of the upcoming Surgical Mission of World Surgical Foundation Philippines scheduled on May 19–22, 2026 from AM -12NN at Catanduanes Doctors Hospital Incorporated, ensuring that sufficient blood supply is available for patients who will undergo life-saving procedures and be given the chance to heal, and recover.

Because behind every successful surgery is a donor who chose to give.

Behind every recovery is a stranger’s kindness turned into hope.

Be that reason someone gets a second chance.

𝗗𝗢’𝗦 𝗕𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 🩸
✔️ Get a full night of quality sleep
✔️ Eat a light, nutritious meal
✔️ Drink plenty of water before and after
✔️ Bring a valid ID
✔️ Wear comfortable, easily rolled-up sleeves

𝗗𝗢𝗡’𝗧𝗦 𝗕𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 🚫

❌ Do not donate on an empty stomach
❌ Avoid alcohol before donation
❌ Do not stay up late the night before
❌ Do not donate when feeling unwell
❌ Do not skip hydration after donating

One donation can rewrite someone’s story.

One moment can save a life.

Give blood. Give hope. Give life. ❤️
