Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (BALCO), India’s iconic aluminium producer and a subsidiary of Vedanta Aluminium, organized a mega blood donation camp at the BALCO Hospital, in collaboration with the District Medical and Health Departments of both Korba and Bilaspur. This noble cause drew wide participation from the company’s employees, families, and surrounding community members, witnessing blood donations from over 1000 people. Their united efforts resulted in a remarkable number of 1000+ life-saving units being collected in a single day, setting the highest-ever record in the Korba district.

Organized in commemoration of World Blood Donor Day, BALCO’s day-long mega blood donation camp was led by the expert doctors and nurses of BALCO Hospital, in partnership with the District Medical and Health Departments of both Korba and Bilaspur. The dedicated medical staff not only provided technical support for blood collection during the camp but also helped generate wider awareness among the volunteers on the donation process and its several benefits. Subsequent to careful screening and checks, the units collected will be stored at the blood banks of Govt. Medical College, Korba and Chhattisgarh Institute of Medical Sciences, Bilaspur. These units will be provided free of charge to communities in need, addressing their critical blood requirements for treating Thalassemia, sickle cell disease, cancer, road traffic accidents, pregnant mothers, and individuals with Haemophilia. The Chhattisgarh Institute of Medical Sciences will further distribute the blood units to other medical facilities such as the District Hospital, Bilaspur, the Railway Hospital, Bilaspur, Jan Swasthya Sahyog, Ganiyari, and the District Hospital, Mungeli.

Appreciating the overwhelming response to the camp, Mr. Rajesh Kumar, CEO, and Director, BALCO, said, “Blood donation is a noble cause, as every unit has the potential to support people in need, including accident victims, surgical patients, and those battling life-threatening illnesses. We are grateful for the overwhelming response to BALCO’s blood donation camp, and truly appreciate the selflessness and generosity displayed by our employees and communities. At BALCO, we strive to prioritize the well-being of our communities by implementing various health interventions such as these for promoting wellness and improving lives. The mega Blood Donation Camp is yet another testament to our unwavering commitment towards making a positive and meaningful impact in the lives of those around us.”
