Bangalore, December 30, 2024: Aster RV Hospital, in collaboration with SIEMENS, successfully organized a Mega Blood Donation Camp across three SIEMENS locations in Bangalore. This initiative witnessed an overwhelming response, with over 240 employees participating and 190+ units of blood collected.
The camp highlighted the power of awareness and education, as more than 50% of participants were first-time donors. Aster RV Hospital’s team of dedicated nursing staff, alongside experts from gynaecology, dental, and audiometry departments, facilitated the event, ensuring seamless and safe donations.
Parashuram, Assistant Manager, CSR at Aster RV Hospital, expressed the need for continued awareness programs. He said, "Despite being part of a corporate ecosystem, many employees lacked awareness about the importance of blood donation. Initiatives like these are critical to ensuring adequate supplies for blood banks and encouraging more individuals to become regular donors." This camp is a testament to the impact of corporate-community partnerships in addressing critical healthcare challenges and underscores the need for regular awareness campaigns to bolster blood bank reserves.
