Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Voluntary blood donation is critical for saving lives and ensuring an adequate supply of blood in healthcare systems. In Dutse Local Government Area (LGA), Jigawa State, efforts to promote voluntary blood donation face challenges such as cultural beliefs, misinformation, and low awareness. Public relations (PR) strategies, including community outreach, media campaigns, and partnerships with healthcare organizations, have been employed to address these issues. As noted by Ahmed and Musa (2023), effective PR campaigns can influence public perception, encourage participation, and foster a culture of voluntary blood donation. This study examines the role of PR strategies in promoting voluntary blood donation in Dutse LGA.
