BHANJI KHERAJ BLOOD BANK
In 1986, the idea to start a Blood Bank dependent only on Voluntary Blood Donation was mooted by members of the club with the cooperation of Sri. Bhanji Kheraj Family charitable Trust.
The Blood Bank was inaugurated by the then Honorable Governor of A.P., Ms. Kumudben Joshi during the president ship of Lion. Goverdhan Reddy in 1986-87 at Feroz Gandhi Park, Bank Street, Hyderabad. The Blood Bank was Chaired efficiently by Lion Amritlal B Nishar for the first five years and subsequently, it has been chaired and nurtured by other members. Presently, Lion. S.K.Kabra is the Chairman.
Activity:
Since it’s establishment, the Blood Bank has been exclusively conducting voluntary blood donation camps with the support of various Lions clubs from Twin Cities and the adjacent Districts. Our staff and Doctors earnestly participate in the camps of voluntary donors arranged by other NGOs and Social Organizations also.
Annually 3500-4000 bottles of blood are collected by the Blood Bank, which is then distributed free of cost to the poor and needy or at Govt. recommended rate to others.
Blood is also issued to the poor/needy in the name of the Donor, who contributes an amount of INR 850/- (Govt. recommended rate) per bottle. Philanthropists are requested to make such donations on their birthdays, anniversaries etc.,
According to a recent notification issued by the Govt. of A.P., 30% of blood collected from Voluntary Blood Donation Camps should be given free of cost to Govt. Hospitals. Accordingly, blood is donated to Govt hospitals at no charge.
The Blood bank is recognized by National AIDS Control Organization, Govt. Of India under Modernisatrion programme for Blood banking system. Healthy Blood is collected with utmost care and supplied after conducting necessary medical tests to ensure its safety.
BLOOD COMPONENT SEPARATION UNIT - The blood bank has been upgraded and is now a blood component separation centre.
