A Blood Donation Drive was organised by the NSS Unit of Institute in association with  AMDOCS Development Center India Pvt Ltd, Inlaks & Budhrani Hospital Blood Bank, Junior  & Youth Indian Red Cross Society, Pune  

Mr Hrishikesh Moundekar, Lead Solution Architect, AMDOCS in his inaugural speech,  encouraged all the donors by saying “Donate blood and be the reason for someone’s existence”.  While addressing the first-time donors, Mr Hrishikesh created an awareness about shortage of  blood and the need to donate blood every year. Donation of blood is a great service or  contribution to society as it can save precious lives.  

The camp was set up in the institute’s activity area, which was transformed into a fully equipped donation center with all necessary medical equipment and supplies. The team of  doctors and nurses from Inlaks Budhrani Hospital were present to manage the donation process  and ensure the safety and well-being of all donors. 

The camp was well-received by the community, and there was a steady flow of donors  throughout the day. The donors underwent a thorough medical check-up, including a blood  pressure check, hemoglobin test, and a brief medical history review, to ensure that they were  fit to donate blood. In total, 87 pints of blood were collected during the camp, which will be  used to save lives and improve the health of patients in need. The blood donation camp was a  huge success, and we would like to thank all the donors, volunteers, and organizers who made  it possible.
