Daily Blood Needs at Vimsar
According to reports, Vimsar requires daily blood supplies for thalassemia patients, accident victims, pregnant women, and people with sickle cell disease. The number of such patients is around 20 per day. Furthermore, Vimsar requires approximately 110 units of blood daily. Private nursing homes rely on blood banks for their patients.
Consequences of Blood Shortage
The lack of blood donation camps has resulted in the absence of any available units of blood groups at Vimsar. As a result, patients are suffering due to a blood shortage. Patients must now bring donors with them when receiving blood transfusions. This situation presents significant challenges, particularly for critical patients.
Urgent Need for Blood Donation Camps
The current crisis highlights the critical need to organize voluntary blood donation camps. If anyone, including committees or organizations, can help, your assistance is greatly appreciated in order to overcome this critical situation. Please come forward and help to save lives.
