Blood donation camp held in Raichur

More than 193 people donated blood at a camp organised in Raichur on Friday as part of the 64th birthday celebrations of Shilpa Medicare Managing Director Vishnukant Bhutada.

The camp was organised jointly by Shilpa Medicare Ltd., Shilpa Foundation, Navodaya Medical College Hospital and Research Centre and Raichur Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) at a hall on the premises of Shilpa Pharma Lifesciences Ltd.

Inaugurating the camp, Shilpa Pharma Lifesciences Director Sharath Reddy said blood donation was a crucial service, as it could help save another person’s life. He appealed to people to come forward and make blood donation a social responsibility.

“Everyone should be a model to society by donating blood,” he said, adding that regular blood donation, subject to medical eligibility, could also contribute to maintaining good health.
