Awareness about blood donation to encourage donations/volunteerism
The latest episode of Ranra (light) on October 19, 2017, promoted the importance of donating blood and the misconceptions regarding its adverse effects on the donor.
Dr. Noor Saba, manager of a regional blood center in Peshawar, took part as the studio guest in the show. She stated that, “The importance of donating blood can never be over-emphasized as it leads to saving thousands of lives. Unfortunately, this practice is not being promoted and an awareness drive needs to be launched regarding its crucial need in saving precious lives.” Furthermore she talked about the spirit of volunteerism and how it can transform our society.
A CRSS correspondent report was played during the show. The report underscored the misconceptions related to blood donation and how to encourage people to become donors.
As many as six listeners took part in the program encouraging the people to become donors by giving their own examples of being active and healthy donors.
