Libreville Airport Blood Drive Boosts Public Health Efforts in Gabon BODY: Libreville, Gabon – July 15, 2026 – The Libreville Airport (ADL) has embarked on a two-day blood donation campaign, in partnership with the National Blood Transfusion Center (CNTS), aimed at bolstering the nation’s blood reserves and promoting voluntary blood donation among airport staff. Launched on July 14, 2026, the initiative is a testament to the airport’s commitment to public health and corporate social responsibility.
The campaign, which follows a week of sensitization efforts by the CNTS, has already seen over a hundred individuals educated on the importance of blood donation, with fifty staff members registering to participate. Fakher Abdelkefi, the Deputy Director General of ADL, emphasized the airport’s dedication to supporting public health initiatives, highlighting the involvement of various administrative and business entities within the airport platform. Dr.
Yod Asterlin Nzigou Nzigou, the airport’s occupational health physician, detailed the thorough process each volunteer undergoes, including registration, vital sign checks, a medical interview, and, for those deemed fit, blood collection followed by a refreshment and observation period to ensure their well-being post-donation. Dr. Franck Senga, the CNTS’s mobile collection coordinator, reminded participants that only those meeting eligibility criteria could donate.
Mohamed Jewiti Rigondza, an IT professional at the airport, expressed his desire to contribute to the well — being of those in need, inspired by a personal experience with blood donation within his family.
The Libreville Airport’s blood drive is part of a broader effort to enhance public health infrastructure in Gabon, complementing initiatives such as the municipal blood donation campaign launched by the City Hall in collaboration with the CNTS. These efforts underscore the government’s commitment to addressing critical health needs and promoting community welfare.
