The Jaswant Dangi Welfare Society organised a blood donation camp on Saturday at Number 10 in the market on Saturday.
This was the seventh year of the camp in which more than 2,000 people participated and 256 units of donated blood was collected by evening.
Blood donors included merchants, students, working class people, peasants, women, police, politicians Alok Sanjar, Surjeet Singh Chouhan, Suresh Pachori, Mandvi Chouhan, PC Sharma, Surendra Nath Singh, Rampal Singh Rajput, whose deeds are different, but today their motive was same, to save the life of the needy by donating blood.
The organisers Satwant Thakur, Gopal Thakur and others thanked the people who participated in the camp, and said that the main aim behind this event was to make the people aware about the importance of blood donation and remove all the misconceptions about blood donation in their mind
Present on the occasion Upendra Mohan Sharma, Blood Bank Incharge, Hamidia Hospital, Bhopal said “In the year 2001 the amount of donated blood collection was about 60 thousand units which have now reached the level of 2.5 lakh units per year. We all know about the scarcity of blood, and when it comes to blood then we talk about safe blood which is free from diseases like AIDS, HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Malaria etc.”
Scientifically it is believed that the blood donated willingly is comparatively safe and it is considered that it does not carries the above mentioned diseases, that is why we promote blood donation.
