Doctors, nurses, administrators and other employees of Welcare Ambulatory Care Center, Welcare World Health Systems and Welcare Hospital participated in the drive, while students, professors and staff from the many nearby educational institutions located at Knowledge Village also had an opportunity to donate blood.
“Coordinating this blood drive is just a part of our ongoing commitment to serving this community, both through the personalized ethical healing care we offer all our patients and via a corporate social responsibility program that recognizes that we are a part of this community,” said Dr. Sumedha Sahni, Director Quality Assurance & Clinics, Welcare World, the Management company for the Welcare Ambulatory Care Center.
The collection drive was held in a specially modified Ministry of Health blood donation bus equipped to allow several people at a time to comfortably donate blood.
