14th June 2018 – World Blood Donor Day Celebration

COMMUNITY EDUCATION:

It is a well-known fact that blood cannot be manufactured. It is a living tissue with limited shelf life and availability and it can only be obtained through one's blood donation. To maintain the supply of safe blood, recruiting and retaining of voluntary non-remunerated blood donors is essential. For this purpose, Blood centre, Main Hospital of AIIMS New Delhi was always at the forefront in organizing voluntary blood donation camps. Events like "Nukkad Nakat, Cyclothon, Walkathon, Marathon, Flash Mob' were also organized to promote and propagate the message of Voluntary Blood Donation.
