The camp was organised jointly by Shilpa Medicare Ltd., Shilpa Foundation, Navodaya Medical College Hospital and Research Centre and Raichur Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) at a hall on the premises of Shilpa Pharma Lifesciences Ltd.
Inaugurating the camp, Shilpa Pharma Lifesciences Director Sharath Reddy said blood donation was a crucial service, as it could help save another person’s life. He appealed to people to come forward and make blood donation a social responsibility.
“Everyone should be a model to society by donating blood,” he said, adding that regular blood donation, subject to medical eligibility, could also contribute to maintaining good health.
Sharath Reddy and Chief Operating Officer Manicka Vasagan appreciated the contribution of Vishnukant Bhutada to the development of health, education, environmental protection, and sports through the Shilpa Foundation and his social service initiatives in Raichur.
A.S. Ananda, Vice-Principal; Ashraf, medical officer at Navodaya Medical College; and Ahmad Hussain of the RIMS blood bank, along with other doctors, officials, Shilpa Medicare employees and blood bank staff, were present.
