“The success of the Raktdaan Amrit Mahotsav has strengthened the noble cause of humanity which will help immensely in saving many precious lives,” Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said.
More than 2.5 lakh people donated blood during the Raktdaan Amrit Mahotsav which began on September 17 and concluded on National Voluntary Blood Donation Day on October 1, according to Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya.
The success of the Raktdaan Amrit Mahotsav has strengthened the noble cause of humanity which will help immensely in saving many precious lives, Mr. Mandaviya said, while addressing a gathering on the occasion of National Blood Donation Day 2022 at AIIMS, Delhi.
"Blood donation is a noble cause and given our rich culture and tradition of 'seva' (service) and ' sahyog' (cooperation), on National Voluntary Blood Donation Day, let us all pledge to be always there for someone else and donate blood regularly," he said.
The Minister said India's response to COVID-19 was inspired by the rich tradition of 'lok bhagidari' (public participation), showed the way to manage the pandemic and led to the world's largest COVID-19 vaccination exercise.
“ Raktdaan Amrit Mahotsav was aimed at blood donation, blood distribution and blood management. It has also helped to increase awareness regarding regular non-remunerated voluntary blood donations and ensure that blood or its components (whole blood/packed red blood cells/plasma/platelets) are available, accessible, affordable and safe.”
"The success of Raktdaan Amrit Mahotsav has strengthened the noble cause of humanity which will help immensely in saving many precious lives. More than 2.5 lakh people have voluntarily donated blood under the Raktdaan Amrit Mahotsav," Mr. Mandaviya said.
