The Andaman & Nicobar AIDS Control Society (ANACS), in collaboration with the Blood Centre of G. B. Pant Hospital, Directorate of Health Services, supported INS Utkrosh, Lamba Line, and RSN Dollygunj in organizing a blood donation camp at their premises.
The event saw active participation from voluntary donors, with 38 units of blood collected at INS Utkrosh and 32 units at RSN. Prior to donation, donors were screened for eligibility and educated about the significance and various aspects of blood donation.
A technical team from the Blood Centre, G. B. Pant Hospital, and ANACS ensured that all collected blood units were thoroughly screened for transfusion-transmissible infections. Donors were also provided with certificates recognising their valuable contribution.
This joint initiative underscores the ongoing commitment of local health authorities and institutions to encourage voluntary blood donation and ensure a safe and adequate blood supply for the community.
