DIMAPUR — On the occasion of National Voluntary Blood Donors Day, which falls on October 1, the Indian Red Cross Society, Nagaland State Branch (IRCSNB) has extended its deepest gratitude to all voluntary blood donors who have selflessly given the gift of life.
In a press release, the IRCSNB said the day is a reminder of the invaluable contribution the blood donor have made to the health and survival of countless individuals across the state and the nation.
“Your selfless act of donating blood not only saves lives but also promotes a sense of community, kindness, and solidarity. The blood you give helps people recover from surgeries, traumatic injuries, and life-threatening illnesses, ensuring that no one is left to suffer from a shortage of this precious resource.
“Over the years, through your steadfast support, the Indian Red Cross Society, Nagaland State Branch, has been able to conduct numerous successful blood donation drives and establish a reliable supply of safe blood,” it stated.
Mentioning that these efforts have empowered the Red Cross Society to respond swiftly during emergencies and disasters, the IRCSNB expressed immense gratitude to each donor, volunteers and organisations that have “partnered with us in this mission.”
“As we celebrate this day, we also call upon those who have not yet experienced the joy of giving blood to join this life-saving cause. With a single donation, you have the potential to save up to three lives. There is no greater act of compassion than this.
“Once again, we salute our blood donors - every drop of your blood carries hope, courage, and life. Thank you for being the true heroes among us.. Together, let’s continue to make a difference, one drop at a time,” it added.
