Puntacana Group partners with Ministry of Health to promote voluntary blood donation

Santo Domingo.- The Puntacana Group, the Ministry of Health, and the National Blood Center have signed a cooperation agreement to strengthen voluntary blood donation in the Dominican Republic through ongoing collaboration and community outreach.

As part of the agreement, regular blood drives will be organized across the Puntacana Group, its subsidiaries, and affiliated companies, alongside awareness campaigns highlighting the importance of consistent and voluntary donations. The initiative also aims to improve donation facilities to ensure a positive experience for donors.

Registered voluntary donors under the National Blood Center program will have access to blood components for immediate family members, while Puntacana employees may activate this benefit in emergencies by providing a substitute donor. Initially valid for three years, the agreement addresses a key health need in the eastern region—home to over 1.3 million residents—where access to formal blood banks remains limited. The initiative underscores the role of corporate social responsibility in fostering solidarity, saving lives, and promoting collective well-being.
