He further noted that voluntary blood donation also promotes a sense of social responsibility and community service. He appreciated and encouraged the Medical Superintendent, Medical Officers and staff for their dedication and efforts in mobilising voluntary blood donors. Highlighting that blood donation saves lives, he appreciated the volunteers for their thoughtful and humanitarian service.

A total of around 40 blood donation procedures were carried out. As part of the camp, the Department of Transfusion Medicine, RIMS, Imphal, also presented Certificates of Appreciation to the volunteers in recognition of their humanitarian service towards saving lives.
