“Voluntary Blood Donation Drive” in Transfusion Medicine Department Unico Hospital

Unico Hospital has launched a “Voluntary Blood Donation Drive” to encourage voluntary blood donation and strengthen access to safe blood for patients in need. The initiative aims to support life-saving treatment during medical emergencies, surgeries, cancer care, and for patients living with chronic conditions such as thalassemia.

The program was inaugurated by Past President Rtn. Ahsanul Haq Chowdhury, FCA of the Rotary Club of Baridhara, who attended as the Chief Guest. The event was also graced by Unico Hospital CEO Ardra Kurien, CMS Brig. Gen. Dr. Sharif Ahmed, and Consultant Prof. Dr. Kazi Nawshad Hossain, along with other distinguished guests.

During the program, the speakers highlighted the vital importance of dedicated healthcare initiatives in ensuring timely access to safe blood and blood components for patients requiring urgent and long-term medical care. They also emphasized the role of voluntary blood donation in building a more compassionate and responsible community.

The primary objective of the blood donation drive is to save lives by collecting, screening, and supplying safe blood for medical emergencies, surgeries, and chronic treatments. The campaign also promotes regular voluntary donation, helps bridge the gap between demand and supply, and raises public awareness about the importance of blood donation as a shared social responsibility.

Unico Hospital remains committed to supporting patient care through community-focused health initiatives and encouraging more people to become regular voluntary blood donors.

At the conclusion of the welcome address, the voluntary blood donation activities officially commenced, with members of the Rotary Club actively participating as donors. The program concluded with an opportunity for the guests and participants to visit and tour various departments of the hospital.
