Blood Donation Camp organised @ SIMSR

The Somaiya Social Cell conducted a blood donation camp in the Somaiya Institute of Management campus, for Somaiya Hospital. The Somaiya Hospital was in need of 73 units of blood and it needed a massive drive to get them. The social cell provided the publicity in the institute, to get the volunteers for blood donation from the institute and was responsible for the smooth conducting of the camp and in making the volunteers comfortable while donating blood.


The Event

The blood donation drive started at 9 am in the morning and the room saw volunteers flocking to donate blood. The doctor and the hospital staff collected the blood and made the people comfortable while the process was on. The participation and the enthusiasm of the students who came forward to give blood was amazing and worth applauding. The camp had to be closed earlier at around 2 pm since the target was achieved beforehand. Students came even after 2 pm but were sadly sent back. The doctor and the staff were all praises for the participants and the organizers. Later, donor cards and certificates of appreciation were distributed to all the donors.
