After a proper requisite screening of all the voluntary donors, more than 30 volunteers donated their blood. After donating the blood, the donors were given refreshments and a Donor's Certificate.
Speaking on the occasion, SMU VC Dr. Rajan S Grewal said, "Blood transfusion is a vital component of health care. A single donation can save three lives. Despite medical and technological advances, blood cannot be made, so donations are the only way we can give blood to those who need it."
He encouraged the donors to donate blood regularly.Image: The organizers with the esteemed guests
