GCU blood donation drive a big success

A blood donation camp at Government College University Lahore draws huge success, with students and faculty coming together to donate blood.  Over 200 bottles of blood were collected for children suffering from thalassemia and cancer on the first day of a two-day camp organized by the University’s Blood Donor Society (BDS) in partnership with the Fatimid Foundation.
The Vice Chancellor of GCU, Prof. Dr. Asghar Zaidi, not only visited the camp but also made a blood donation, inspiring others to follow suit.
The Vice-Chancellor said the GCU Blood Donor Society every year donate over 1600 units of blood to patients in need. “This year's camp once again demonstrated the university's commitment to making a positive impact in the community,” he added.
Students who participated in the blood drive emphasized the importance of blood donation, and the positive impact it has on the health of donors. “By reducing the risk of heart attack, cancer, and improving blood pressure and cholesterol levels, blood donation is a selfless act that saves lives and benefits the donor,” they said.
The blood donation camp was organised in collaboration with the Fatimid Foundation.
