Health Minister Eatala Rajender on Saturday urged the youth in the city to volunteer for blood donation. Acknowledging there was a shortage of donor blood across the State due to the ongoing lockdown, he appealed the youngsters to turn up voluntarily for blood donation.
“Due to lockdown, thalassemia patients and those who need emergency surgeries are facing challenges in accessing donor blood,” the minister said, while inaugurating a blood donation camp at Institute of Preventive Medicine (IPM), Narayanguda, organised by TNGOs.
