Noida: “Voluntary, unpaid blood donations must be increased rapidly in more than half the world’s countries in order to ensure a reliable supply of safe blood for patients whose lives depend on it,†Dr. Ajay Kumar Director Mass Communication and Journalism read the statement issued by WHO at Asian School of Media Studies on World Blood Donor Day during the blood donation camp.
“This year, the theme of World Blood Donor Day is “Blood connects us allâ€, highlighting the common bond that all people share in their blood. The slogan, “Share life, give bloodâ€, draws attention to the role that voluntary donation systems play in encouraging people to care for one another and promoting community cohesion†said Sandeep Marwah President Marwah Studios.
“Although we have many external differences, the same vital blood pumps through all our veins. Voluntary, unpaid blood donation is the act of giving life – the greatest gift any person can give or receive,†added Marwah.
“Voluntary blood donors come from all walks of life but they have one thing in common: they put others before themselves — people they don’t even know. “Each time they donate blood, they commit an act of selfless heroism.,†said Dr. Alok Satsangi Director Department of Cinema at ASMS. More than 100 students donated blood during the session.
