Assam CM Urges People To Donate Blood !

National Voluntary Blood Donation Day is getting celebrated in India at 1st of October every year to share the need and importance of the blood in the life of an individual. It was first started celebrating on 1st of October in the year 1975 through the Indian Society of Blood Transfusion and Immunohaematology. Blood donation is said to be a noble and selfless act. A single blood donation can save up to three lives. But a lot of people are hesitant about donating blood due to a variety of reasons including fear of pain, anaemia or needles and their own beliefs and customs. Assam CM Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma Tweeted," Donating blood is akin to donating life. The selfless act by voluntary blood donors greatly benefitted our society, especially during #COVID. On National Voluntary Blood Donors Day, I urge everyone to come forward and donate blood for the sake of humanity".
