MALDA, 7 JUNE: Malda district hospitals and nursing homes are in the throes of an acute blood crisis with the district blood bank having been dry for days on end.
To tide over the blood crisis, voluntary organisations and the Malda district CPI-M have taken initiatives to organize blood donation camps.
In a novel development, a blood donation camp was organized at the district CPI-M office today at the behest of the party district secretary Mr Jiban Moitra. Mr Moitra has taken upon himself the responsibility of collecting more than 100 blood units with the assistance of the part apparatus. “The political parties must come forward to shoulder social responsibilities as the district is grappling with this grave blood crisis,” Mr Moitra said.
To overcome the protracted blood crisis in the district, several local clubs and voluntary blood donors’ forums organized mobile blood donation camps yesterday. More than 60 persons donated blood. Interestingly, many tribal boys and girls contributed blood in Gazole.
Another blood donation camp was organized at Children Park in English Bazaar town where 18 persons donated blood in the presence of ten thalassaemia-stricken patients. ;SNS
