To overcome the shortage of blood in the city, an NGO founded a year ago has come up with an innovative idea of attracting donors by giving them an accident insurance cover of Rs 1 lakh.
Swarnim Gujarat Youth Federation, which will mark its first annual celebrations on April 1, has been working to educate people on donating blood, eyes and even the body.
Ghanshyam Vasani, the NGO’s president, said that on April 1, 2011, they expect to collect over 1,000 bottles of blood in a single day at a camp where doctors and nurses from three blood banks, Surat Raktdan Kendra, SMIMER Hospital Blood Bank and Lok Samarpan Raktdan Kendra, will be present.
“This year, we are giving an accident insurance cover of Rs 1 lakh to the donors for a year. We have contacted private insurance company, which has agreed to give insurance in bulk. Entire expenses will be borne by a member of our organisation,” Vasani said.
This is really a great Idea. Now a days we are seeing so many accidents and so many people are admiting in the hospitals. This is a great thing to collect the blood from the donors and offering some insurance. So max number of people will come. or one more idea is create a website for this. If any one interested then will register in that site. So you can contact them easily. Like this you can collect more number of people. I wish all success in this event. Thanks for sharing.
