Over 2.5 lakh folks donated blood throughout a fortnight-wide nationwide blood donation marketing campaign that started on the Prime Minister’s birthday on September 17. Out of the entire donation, greater than 1 lakh models of blood had been donated on the very first day, which is a document.
Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya visited the All India Institute of Medical Sciences on the final day of the marketing campaign and praised the donors. “Let us all pledge to be always there for someone else and to donate blood regularly,” he stated.
This marketing campaign geared toward rising voluntary blood donation throughout the nation can lead to much less dependence on alternative donors (sufferers’ members of the family who donate blood to interchange the blood given to sufferers). India requires about 15 million models of blood in a yr.
