The blood donation camp was organized on Saturday, 16th March, at BC Roy Technology Hospital, with the help of Sub Division Hospital, Kharagpur. It began at around 10 am and continued up to 1 pm, with a steady stream of donors throughout. The corridor of the first floor of the hospital was abuzz with young KGPians chatting with each other, happy to be able to play their part in lending a helping hand to people in the region.
One of the rooms was utilized for a thorough medical check-up of potential donors, as well as the donation itself, while another there was another hall was where donors could lie down and recuperate for a while before they leave venue. They were provided with glucose water and food including biscuits, a banana and a cake. It was great to see more people than pre-registration numbers turning up in the venue. This stretched the capacity of the blood bank, as a result of which the contact details of the donors were taken so as to allow them to donate at the earliest to the blood bank. The blood bank asked for 60 units with higher number of A+ blood groups. Seeing the enthusiasm, they collected ten percent more, that is 66 units.
The samples were carefully sealed and transported away, while the volunteers and hospital staff helped in the clean-up of the area. Throughout the morning, there were smiles and laughter all around - a true embodiment of what we believe in - selfless service with a smile. The donors received certificate of recognition. They also get a credit card where one unit of blood is available free from Govt. Blood Bank in next one year. And, NSS, IIT Kharagpur unit received a certificate of appreciation from State Blood Transfusion Council, West Bengal.
