New Delhi, April 2

A blood donation camp was organised on Thursday at Rashtrapati Bhavan in collaboration with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.

On the occasion, speaking to ANI, Physician to the President, Col (Dr) Kiran Kumar expressed satisfaction over having the fourth blood donation camp in collaboration with the AIIMS blood centre and highlighted how blood donation is a life-saving donation, as it cannot be bought or manufactured.

"I am very happy that we are doing the fourth blood donation camp on 2 April in collaboration with AIIMS blood centre... As you know, blood donation is a life-saving donation, as blood cannot be bought or manufactured but is produced within humans and can be donated to save lives," said Kumar.

Heartening to read this. The fact that the last camp had 250 participants, predominantly women, is very inspiring. It breaks the myth that women are hesitant to donate. Kudos to all the donors!

This is excellent. But I hope the focus isn't just on breaking records at one prestigious location. The real need is in smaller towns and rural areas. AIIMS should use its network to ensure blood banks across the country are well-stocked.

As someone who needed blood during surgery last year, I can't stress enough how important these donations are. Every unit saves a life. Great collaboration between AIIMS and the President's office.

Jai Hind! This is the spirit of New India. When our highest institutions promote seva like this, it sends a powerful message to the youth. I donated blood last month at my local camp. It's a simple process with a huge impact.

Wonderful news! I just wish the article gave more details on how a common citizen can participate in such camps. Is it only for staff? Transparency would encourage more people to come forward.
