Healthy Life My Birth Right Society, an NGO, organised a blood donation camp for the Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Society at Dr Zaheer Marg, Habsiguda, Hyderabad on Sunday and aimed to support the Thalassemia patients by addressing the shortage of blood donors. Approximately 500 units of blood were gathered from 250 donors in the camp on Sunday.
The organisation was founded by Rama Sashtry Somanchi, Jagannadha Sastry Somanchi, Prakash Shastry Somanchi, Sravan Prakash Varanasi, Ram Akella and Srinivasulu Appala.
It is dedicated to promoting a healthier and more sustainable way of life. It’s mission is to address key areas of well-being by conducting surveys and raising awareness about food, water, environment, physical health and mental health. In addition to organising blood donation camps, they plan to distribute books and clothes to blind children, orphanages and old-age homes in future.
Rama Sashtry Somanchi expressed their commitment to gather one lakh units of blood for the needy in the next five years. In collaboration with the Thalassemia Sickle Cell Society, Healthy Life My Birth Right Society aims to meet the blood shortage faced by Thalassemia patients. These patients require 1-2 units of blood every 15-20 days and the society provides them with free blood and medication. Due to various reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a decrease in blood donors, leading to a shortage for Thalassemia patients.
The society is dedicated to support the Thalassemia Sickle Cell Society by regularly organising blood donation camps, approximately every 4-5 months. Their efforts aim to meet the critical need for blood donors and contribute to the well-being of Thalassemia patients.
The camp was attended by special guests, including Pavani Kasulla, Junior Civil Judge-cum-Judicial Magistrate, Korutla, Jagityal district, Jakkula Anantharam Laxmi, Principal, Junior Civil Judge-cum-Judicial Magistrate of First Class Kumuram Bheem Asifabad and Ratnavalli Kottapalli, Vice-President of Thalassemia Sickle Cell Society.
