Blood Donation Plays a Key Role in Saving Lives

Every year, awareness about blood donation is growing among students through blood donation camps and programs, stated Dr. K.R.S. Prasad, Dean and In-Charge of the Student Affairs at K L Deemed University. On Friday, he inaugurated a blood donation camp jointly organized by the American Cancer Care Blood Bank and KL Youth Red Cross in the university's SAC Hall. He highlighted the importance of blood donation to the students, stating that by donating blood even once, one can save many lives. He emphasized that blood is an essential component of the human body and plays a crucial role in saving lives and improving health.

Around 200 units of blood were collected at the camp, he reported. The blood collected from donors is used to help patients with various diseases, those undergoing treatment after accidents, and those requiring surgery. He stressed that blood donation should be seen not only as an individual health benefit but also as a social responsibility. Individuals can donate blood regularly, provided they monitor their health and follow the guidelines. He encouraged everyone to donate blood at least once a year. He also mentioned that KL Youth Red Cross, along with the students, is organizing special programs to raise awareness about blood donation. Certificates were awarded to the blood donors.
