The mega blood donation camp, titled 'A Drop to Life', jointly organised by THE TIMES OF INDIA.com and Shubham Hospital, in association with the Indian Medical Association (IMA), Varanasi branch and Red FM, received overwhelming response on Tuesday.
Hundreds of people queued to donate their blood voluntarily in two sessions, which were organised at Sigra and Khajuri branches of Shubham Hospital to mark the World Blood Donor Day. While huge turn out of denizens was witnessed at Sigra branch, the highlight of the day was special contribution and encouraging response from hospital staff and doctors of Shubham Hospital.
