In India, 16 thousand people die without blood. Blood donors should be healthy and between 18 years to 65 years of age and weight should be at least 45kg. May this blood donation camp be conducted in a good way” he said and wished the students all the best.
Dr Aman said, “By donating blood, your body will get better health. We will be healthy. It takes 1 week for half a litre of blood to be absorbed in the body. You should not do heavy work for 1 week after donating blood. Blood donors should eat healthy food i.e. green vegetables.”
In his Presidential Address Rev Fr John D’Souza SJ said that, “We develop a relationship only when blood is donated. We don’t forget the people who donate blood. You will get God’s blessings for donating blood. He said and wished the students good luck.”
