Doctors organization, ATGDA holds blood donation camps to mitigate blood crisis, Tripura CM applauds
Humans cannot survive without blood. Blood is a priceless possession for all. There is no gift greater than donating blood. About 3 to 4 persons can be benefitted through a single donor, said Chief Minister Prof. (Dr.) Manik Saha after inaugurating the blood donation camp organized today by the West District Committee of All Tripura Government Doctors’ Association (ATGDA) at the seminar hall of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Memorial Nursing School of IGM Hospital in Agartala. The Chief Minister interacted with blood donors and encouraged them. He said blood has no religion, gender, or political colour. Donation of blood gives us a sense of unity.
Doctors’ organization – ATGDA came forward in Tripura for voluntary blood donation responding positively to the call of Chief Dr Manik Saha – himself a physician – to donate blood for overcoming shortages of blood in the State.
Several District committees of the All Tripura Government Doctors' Association (ATGDA) organized blood donation camps in the State on Tuesday (April 18).
Speaking at the camp held at the IGM, the Chief Minister also said, scarcity of blood was observed in the state during the previous Legislative Assembly election. To curb the difference in supply and demand of blood in the state, the state government after the election had called upon everyone to come forward to donate blood. The way the citizens of the state have responded to this call, it has created a public awakening. It has been proved over and over again that humans are for humans.
Dr Saha lauded the All Tripura Government Doctor’s Association for organizing a blood donation camp in every district of the state on this day. The Chief Minister said, it must be taken care of that blood never goes wasted and that the supply of blood is maintained.
The Chief Minister called upon everyone to come forward in building a drug-free state. He said, the state government has taken up a zero-tolerance policy.
Besides, he also hoped for everyone’s cooperation to identify addicted persons in their area or those involved with the business. Dignitaries present in the programme were Mayor of Agartala Municipal Corporation Dipak Majumder, Health Secretary Dr. Debashish Basu, Medical Superintendent in charge of IGM Hospital Dr. Sumit Debbarma.
Welcome speech was delivered by the Secretary of All Tripura Government Doctor’s Association Dr. Kanak Choudhury. Vote of thanks was delivered by the President of the Association Dr. Pradip Kumar Debbarma.
