Addressing the gathering, Dr Ajay Bagga said, “Blood donation is a simple, safe and life-saving act. Donating blood has numerous benefits, both for recipients and donors. For recipients, one unit donated can save up to three lives by providing critical support during surgeries, trauma care, cancer treatment, and for patients with chronic illnesses. For donors, the act of giving blood can improve cardiovascular health by reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.”
