Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Deputy Commissioner of Prisons Hassan Zilaal said that the programme is an initiative of Maafushi Prison and ESG and is a very important programme. He also said that the need for blood is a difficulty many have to face and for Maldives Correctional Service to contribute to the cause is a step up for MCS as well and will work to carry out similar programmes in future.
