MCGI Bloodletting

 Blood Letting

Bloodletting is the withdrawal of blood from a patient to prevent or cure illness and disease. Bloodletting, whether by a physician or by leeches, was based on an ancient system of medicine in which blood and other bodily fluids were regarded as "humours" that had to remain in proper balance to maintain health. The withdrawn blood is also preserved and will be used to extend someone's life and use as a life support

 Mass Blood Letting Drive of MCGI is a quarterly activity of the Church. The initiative however was initiated by Bro. Eli since the 90s. It is one of the humanitarian commitments that the Church, through the leadership of Presiding Minister Bro. Eli Soriano and Vice-Presiding Minister Bro. Daniel Razon, have made to the Filipino people.
 In 2011, With 1,909 blood units collected for the last quarter of the same year, Members Church of God International (MCGI) has donated a total of 10,693 blood bags — twice the amount they produced last year. MCGI’s total blood donation in 2010 with 5,139 units.





In the Philippines alone, about 850,000 blood units are needed annually, averaging to 2,500 bags each day. Which is why the PRC is thankful for partners like MCGI for consistently delivering safe blood to the masses.

“You are healthy donors. You have a healthy lifestyle. That is why safe blood will come from ADD donors,” said PRC representative Christie Monina Nalupta M.D. during her lecture at the Ang Dating Daan Convention Center in Apalit, Pampanga, north of Manila, earlier this year.


Trivia: Did you know?

For eight consecutive years, the Members Church of God International (MCGI) has received another Gawad Jose Rizal Award by the Philippines Blood Center (PBC) and the Department of Health (DOH) during the Dugong Bayani Award 2019.
