Earlier also, the Trust has been honoured with an appreciation letter by the HOD, Department of Blood Transfusion and Medicine, PGI, for organising blood donation camps during Covid19 lockdown.

The Trust has organised 25 weekly voluntary blood donation camps at the PGI since June 6 and mobilised more than 2,300 units of blood during this critical period of lockdown. As the blood bank at the PGI was facing an acute shortage of blood during this period on account of panic caused by coronavirus, even regular voluntary blood donors were not coming forward for this noble task. The efforts of the Trust helped the blood bank in providing blood for transfusion to our thalassaemic patients as well as to carry out pending emergency surgeries. The Trust has provided medical support to about 450 thalassaemic patients in the PGI and the GMCH since 1987. — TNS
