Alur-Siddapur, Oct. 19: Dr. Karumbayya, Medical Officer of the Blood Donation Center of Madikeri District Hospital, opined that the shortage of blood in hospitals can be overcome by conducting more voluntary blood donation camps organized by associations and organizations.
He was speaking at the inauguration of the 7th annual public voluntary blood donation camp organized at the Primary Health Center in collaboration with the nearby Alur-Siddapur Arebhashe Gowda Samaj and Primary Health Center. Blood cannot be made artificially. Blood has to be given to patients, women during childbirth, and those with anemia problems in hospitals. Blood has to be collected through blood donation camps. In this regard, he appealed to healthy people above the age of 18, including the youth, to cooperate in preventing blood shortage in hospitals by donating blood.
Devaira Girish, president of Arebhashe Gowda Samaj, said that we have a large youth group and if the youth come forward and donate blood, the shortage of blood in hospitals can be completely overcome. But it is a tragedy that today's youth are falling prey to drugs and ruining their health.
He said that awareness should be created among the youth in this regard. Dr. Suparna Krishnanand, administrative medical officer of the primary health center, spoke in the introduction. Bhatyana Eerappa, honorary president of Arebhashe Gowda Samaj, secretary Kuyumudi Jayakumar, and senior health inspector Praveen Kumar were present on the stage.
The blood donation camp was attended by the public, including forest department staff, electricity department staff, and students of the Alur-Siddapur Government ITI Center.
