| HDFC Bank’s nationwide ‘Blood Donation’ today | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 10- HDFC Bank is organizing a nationwide Blood Donation Campaign on Friday. Donors in 272 Indian cities will be able to donate blood at 310 designated centres from 1000 hrs to 1700 hrs in what’s one of the nation’s biggest single-day blood donation campaigns where individual donors, including many Bank executives, are expected to donate blood. The Bank has tied up with major hospitals across these centers for technical assistance.
The Bank’s Blood Donation Campaign had begun in 2007 with over 5000 volunteers. It has come a long way since then.
“Blood is precious. From major surgeries to treatment of critical diseases, all require blood transfusion. A single donation can save lives of as many as three people,” says Mandeep Maitra, Country Head, Human Resources and Corporate Services, HDFC Bank. “The problem is more acute in our country where the gap between demand and supply of blood is acute. Published data suggest that a mere 500,000 blood units (of 250cc) are available in India against a demand of 40 million units. We’d be glad if we can in any manner help plug this gap”, he added.
Commenting on the initiative, Bhavesh Zaveri, Head, Wholesale Banking Operations & Cash Management Products, HDFC Bank, said, "I am glad our campaign is enabling more and more people to come forward and do what they always wanted to do--donate blood and save life.”
The venues of the blood donation camp are HDFC Bank Branch building premises in Jammu, Karan Nagar HDFC bank branch premises in Srinagar and Branch premises in Anantnag.
The Bank has traditionally been carrying out its Donation Campaign under the aegis of its Wholesale Banking Operations (WBO) unit.
