"Our hospital has been committed in organizing such blood donation camps on regular basis. During our last camp, we collected around 60 units of blood from our hospital staff. Today, we expect to collect 100 units, as the camp is open to public too and their participation is remarkable. Even after spreading the awareness about blood donation, people are still hesitant to donate blood, due to the wrong perceptions. The universal truth is that, it's is very safe to donate blood every three months after proper advice from the doctor' said Mrs.Prabha Praveen, Administrator of Gem Hospital and Member of Ladies Circle 85.
