Blood Donation Drive for Thalassemia Patients, September 2024
September 27, 2024 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Thalassemia is a condition where the blood carries less hemoglobin – which means that the blood carries less oxygen. Patients with severe cases of thalassemia require frequent blood transfusions – about once in two weeks – otherwise the condition can be fatal. India has the largest number of children born with Thalassemia, which can have severe socio-economic consequences in the future.
The Centre of Excellence for Road Safety at RBG Labs, IIT Madras has partnered with the Voluntary Health Services or VHS to conduct a blood donation drive for Thalassemia patients in Chennai.
We actively encourage you to donate so that someone less fortunate may get a fresh lease of life.
Join us on Friday, 27 September 2024 at 303, New Academic Complex – 1 (Krishna Chivukula Block), IIT Madras from 10am to 5pm and give a fresh lease of life to those in need.
