PASIGHAT, Oct 18: In a bid to save more human lives, the Kuri Dajum Olung (KDO) Students’ Union Pasighat unit in association with voluntary blood donation organization NGO ‘Ayang’ organized a blood donation camp in Bakin Pertin General Hospital, Pasighat today in which total of 28 units of blood was donated.
Speaking at the sidelines of the blood donation camp, the KDO office bearers said that the blood donation programme should be taken up by all the CBOs voluntarily to save life on humanitarian grounds. There are many patients who direly need blood for a variety of reasons, including surgery, cancer, and newborn babies etc. So, by donating blood and saving the lives of others we are trying to do a noble and selfless service, said KDO members. Tahing Taga from KDO also expressed his thankfulness to the voluntary blood donors and well wishers.
Ayang foundation’s, Smty Aini Taki Taloh, who is a known figure across Arunachal Pradesh and in the North East region as a whole for her record number of voluntary blood donation, said “I have been donating blood for many years despite being a woman and my effort will continue to save lives. We from Ayang foundation always do the blood donation programme on a routine basis without any expectation in return. And because of my being a known figure in the field of voluntary blood donation and saving many lives, my volunteers fondly call me ‘Ayi’ which means ‘Mother’.”
Blood Bank officer from BPGH, Pasighat, Dr. Dilem Modi expressed his thankfulness and appreciation to the teams for voluntarily donating blood for the needy patients. “There is no bigger service than donating blood, as by donating blood you save other’s lives. Healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 65 can donate blood. Men can donate every three months, while women can donate every four months,” he said.
