Letter: With the hospital facing blood shortages, hundreds rise to group calls and marched for blood donors at the Sarsana Community Hall on Sunday.
Every year the Group Maruti Dhun Mandal Yuva based in the city held a blood donor camp during the Ganesh Festival.
This year this initiative was held in connection with the Blood Bank Lokpan Lok.
“More than 1,100 people, including many women, came to the Sarsana Community Hall to donate blood.
However, some volunteers did not qualify to donate blood for various reasons.
A total of 522 units of blood were collected in the camp,” said Chetan Thummar, one The committee.
“We arrange blood donor camps every year during Ganesh Utsav.
This year, we decided to hold Mega Camp because hospitals faced blood shortages.
Previously, we used to collect around 120 units but this year rose to 522 units of blood,” Thummar added.
“Blood banks run out of stock, so the group’s commendable efforts,” Haribhai Kathiriya, Lok President of Blood Bank, Letter, said.
