Lucknow: In observance of World Blood Donor Day, Apollo Hospital, Lucknow organized a large-scale blood donation camp, which witnessed enthusiastic participation from the public. The camp was formally inaugurated by Dr. A.K. Sehgal, Additional Chief Medical Officer (ACMO), Lucknow.
The initiative drew more than 100 voluntary donors, who stepped forward to contribute to this noble cause.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Mayank Somani, MD and CEO of Apollo Hospital, emphasized the critical role of blood donation in saving lives.
