ZIRO : The Apatani Baptist Association (ABA), in collaboration with the Blood Centre of Gyati Takka Zonal General Hospital (GTZGH), organised a voluntary blood donation camp here on Friday, collecting 36 units of blood to strengthen the hospital’s blood bank.

The camp was organised under the leadership of ABA Executive Secretary Pastor Dani Tadu and witnessed enthusiastic participation from local residents, who came forward to donate blood in support of patients requiring emergency medical care.

Prior to donation, all volunteers underwent mandatory medical screening to ensure donor safety and eligibility. While some willing donors were deferred on routine medical grounds, organisers appreciated their willingness to contribute.

The drive concluded with the collection of 36 units of blood, comprising 14 units of O positive, 10 units each of A positive and B positive, and two units of AB positive. The medical team reported that the donation process was completed smoothly without any adverse reactions among donors.

The organisers said the initiative would significantly strengthen the hospital’s blood reserves and help meet the needs of patients requiring emergency treatment, surgeries and other critical medical interventions.

They noted that the regular blood donation drives organised by the ABA reflect the growing awareness of voluntary blood donation and the spirit of community service in Lower Subansiri district.

The organisers expressed gratitude to all donors, volunteers and the medical team of Gyati Takka Zonal General Hospital for contributing to the success of the camp. (DIPR)
