Arpan Parivar to hold blood donation camp to tackle summer shortage

Jamshedpur: Arpan Parivar will host its 11th Mega Blood Donation Camp on June 28. The camp will be held at the Jamshedpur Blood Bank in Dhatkidih from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Preparations for the mega camp were reviewed during a meeting held at the Jamshedpur Blood Bank, where members discussed donor registration, volunteer responsibilities, publicity, logistical arrangements, and strategies to maximize public participation.

Arpan Parivar Patron Amarpreet Singh Kale said, “We are committed to ensuring that residents do not face blood shortages during the summer season and that members would motivate as many people as possible to come forward and donate blood.”

Jamshedpur Blood Bank Head Sanjay Chaudhary said that while the demand for blood remains constant throughout the summer, the number of donors generally declines. In such circumstances, he said, mega blood donation camps organized by voluntary organizations play a crucial role in maintaining adequate blood stocks.
