A voluntary blood donation camp was organized at Amarpur Referral Hospital in Banka district on Tuesday. The primary objective of this camp was to address the shortage of blood and ensure its timely availability for needy patients. Such camps are being organized across various blocks of the district following appeals from District Magistrate Anshul Agarwal and Civil Surgeon Dr. Jitendra Kumar Singh.

The camp was inaugurated by Deputy Chief Councillor representative and Ward Councillor Pradeep Kumar Sah Pappu, along with social worker Anil Kumar Daruka, who both donated blood themselves. On this occasion, they appealed to the public to participate in large numbers, emphasizing that blood donation is a significant act of humanitarian service. Social worker Sunny Kumar Sah mentioned that the youth of Amarpur have always actively participated in such camps. Sunny Kumar Sah himself has donated blood 24 times and has inspired over 500 people to donate. His awareness campaign will continue.

Hospital Manager Rishi Kumar and Ravikant from the blood bank, among others, were present. Dr. Deepti, In-charge Medical Officer of Amarpur Referral Hospital, stated that every blood donor undergoes a health check-up before donation, and blood is only collected if they are completely healthy. She added that regular blood donation saves the lives of needy patients and also provides periodic health checks for donors. Dr. Deepti advised every healthy individual to donate blood voluntarily once every three months, as one unit of blood can save three lives.
