Chaibasa, May 8: The Indian Red Cross Society, Chaibasa, observed the International Red Cross Day at Saint Vivekananda English Medium School, Gandhi Tola, by organizing a free health check-up and blood donation camp under the aegis of D R Shah Foundation on Sunday.
Dr Soumya Sen Gupta examined 235 patients and 34 people were registered to donate their blood. In addition, 32 children received Hepatitis A and B vaccinations at the camp.
The chief guest on the occasion, MP Laxaman Gilua said that the Red Cross Society does commendable jobs, but such type of camp should also be organized in remote areas where underprivileged people can be benefitted.
