ZIRO, AUG 17:

The National Service Scheme (NSS) Unit and Red Ribbon Club of St. Claret College, Ziro, in collaboration with the Blood Centre of Gyati Takka Zonal General Hospital (GTZGH), organised an Outdoor Voluntary Blood Donation Camp on the college campus on Monday.

The camp saw 32 prospective donors, including nine males and 23 females, undergo preliminary health screening. A total of 21 units of blood were collected, comprising eight units from male donors and 13 from female donors.

The collection included eight units of A+, four of B+, six of O+ and three of AB+ blood groups. No adverse donor reactions were reported.

The screening process also helped identify two cases of hypertension and four cases of anaemia. The medical team conducted blood-group testing for all participants and counselled those requiring medical attention, advising them to seek appropriate follow-up care.

The camp was coordinated by NSS Programme Officers Jeremia Modi, Nending Sumpi and Tage Tagyung, along with Red Ribbon Club Coordinator Withoam Socia.

The organisers expressed gratitude to the student donors, volunteers and GTZGH medical team for their participation and support in making the blood donation drive a success.
