Anthony Olusesan Ajayi
Donor Recruiter
Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria
When Anthony Olusesan Ajayi began at Lagos University Teaching Hospital, he noticed that the hospital had a voluntary Blood Donor bus that was not being utilized. Anthony initiated a campaign involving staff and students from area universities and hospitals to utilize the bus to recruit donors. They successfully recruited more than 2,000 voluntary donors in the past four years. They now use the mobile bus to canvas the greater Lagos area to educate Nigerian people on the importance of voluntary blood donations.
