On March 10th 2011, a blood
Donation camp was organized in the department by Welfare Hand Organization, an
NGO for thalassemia. Students participated with vigour in this camp. The blood
was tested for Hepatitis A, B, C and HIV AIDS and the students were provided
with the screening result.
Medically, blood donation doesn’t have
adverse effect on the health of the donor. Naturally the RBC in the blood breaks
down after 120 days and new blood is generated. The blood collected in the camp
is used for immediate transfusion for the thalassemia children; the platelets
are used for other purposes.
From religious point of view it is also
beneficial as it is an act of sadqa of your body. In this donation camp, approximately
twenty bags of blood were collected.
