Kohima, June 13 (MExN): On the eve of World Blood Donor Day--June 14, Governor of Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh, PB Acharya today said that the event was established in 2004 which aims to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products, and to thank blood donors for their voluntary, life-saving gifts of blood.
“Let's take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every blood donor. It is because of these heroes, that we believe life will be given a better chance. Thank You Dear Blood Donors” he stated. “We don't just need to give blood in the event of tragedies or emergencies. Instead, it should be a normal and routine part of our lives,” the Governor appealed.
The PRO to the Governor in a press release added the Governor also called on NGOs, Civil Organisation, Scout and Guides, Ex Servicemen, etc to organize blood donation camps on different occasions. “It is a healthy gesture. We must keep this aptitude up at any cost. Our blood banks are running short of required blood. By organizing such blood donation camps we may help them to enrich their capacity,” he said.
Stating that blood donation is our human duty, Governor Acharya called on the citizens to come forward and donate blood as blood donation is one of the most significant contributions that a person can make towards the society.
