A voluntary blood donation camp was organised on the occasion of Valentine’s day at GVKEMRI-108 service with the support of blood bank, Doon Hospital at its camps on Friday. After inaugurating the Blood donation camp, Director General (Medical, Health and Family Welfare) Dr JS Pangti, urged the gathering to come forward to participate in the blood donation camp.
Donating blood is surely one of the ways for saving the lives of those individuals, who are bearing the brunt of medical emergencies. Dr Pangti also stressed that shortage of human blood could be easily curtailed if everybody started coming forward for participating in the voluntary blood donation camps.
A total of 47 units of blood were collected in the voluntary blood donation camps. Speaking on the occasion, State Head, GVKEMRI-108 service, Manish Tinkoo, said that that 108-service is always on the forefront for the community service. He said that organising voluntary blood donation camps by 108-service is the regular feature in the department.
Tinkoo also claimed that 108-service also takes effective steps for creating awareness among the masses about the importance of participating in the voluntary blood donation camps being organised by the state health department at various locations in the state.
Tinkoo also urged from the gathering to participate in the voluntary blood donation camps at least twice in a year.
