EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Dec 14: J&K Thalassemia Welfare Society (JKTWS) urged upon the people to come forward for voluntary blood donation in favour of large number of thalassemic children of Jammu and Kashmir.
According to JKTWS president Er Sudhir Sethi, approximately 300 thalassemic children are registered with the Society but they are facing acute shortage of blood from the blood bank of SMGS Hospital despite the fact that blood bank authorities of SMGS Hospital and Government Medical College Hospital in Jammu are trying their level best. Thalassemia is a blood transfusion dependent disease and such patients need regular safe blood transfusion atleast once, twice or even more times a month with Iron Chelation Therapy to survive, Sethi added.
For the convenience and safety of blood donors and Blood Bank, any person desirous of participating in this noble cause by way of donating blood should contact SMGS Hospital on telephone numbers 2547638, 2547635, 2578477; Blood Bank Ext. No. 296 any time during 10 AM to 4 PM on all working days so that an appointment is fixed for the particular donor, Sethi said and added that in this way we can maintain social distancing, safety or security of all the individuals. "We need to maintain social distancing during pandemic but that does not mean social disengagement," he said. The Thalassemia Welfare Society hoped that large number of people of the City of Temples will come forward and contact the Blood Bank SMGS Hospital Jammu for blood donation so that precious young lives are saved, said JKTWS General Secretary Rajinder Pathak, vice president VP Sharma, Treasurer Puneet Gandotra, Joint Secretaries Narinder Sharma and Shammi Kapoor. |
