Blood Donation Drive @ Bangalore International School
Blood Donation is something that is extremely important, but not talked about enough. Millions of lives are saved yearly due to blood transfusions, and all it takes for the donors to save a life is endure a pinch of pain lasting for no longer than a few seconds. In Bangalore International School, a Blood Donation Drive was conducted, whereby parents, school staff and teachers could come by and donate blood in the school's infirmary. To ensure that the blood was safely and hygienically handled, and that the blood itself was eligible to be donated, we took the help of Manipal Hospitals, who briefed us on the precautions that needed to be taken. Upon entering, donors were required to fill in a form detailing their medical history. Once the form was approved as eligible to donate blood, they were escorted into a sanitised corner to donate the blood. At the end, Manipal Hospital collected the blood.
