Jammu Tawi: HDFC Bank, India's leading private sector bank will hold a nation-wide ‘Blood Donation Drive' on Friday, December 9, 2022.
The annual campaign is HDFC Bank's leading healthcare initiative under its flagship CSR program #Parivartan. In its 14th year, blood
donation camps will be organized at over 5,500 centers in 1,150 cities across India. This includes large corporates, colleges and bank
branches. “It is the 14th year of our All-India Blood Donation campaign, an initiative that we have been proud to support since 2007,” said Mr.
Bhavesh Zaveri, Group Head Operations, HDFC Bank. “Medical care depends on a steady supply of blood from donors, as one in seven
people entering the hospital needs blood. Medical professionals have confirmed that it is safe to donate blood if Covid and other general
precautions are in place. Let us do our small part to make a genuine difference in the lives of the communities around us by donating blood
this Friday, December 9, at a blood donation camp near you.” “HDFC Bank #Parivartan is committed to bringing about a positive change in
society. The all-India Blood Donation Drive is our sincere effort in this direction and is aimed at creating awareness about the importance of
Blood Donation. A single unit of blood can save up to 3 lives. Blood Donation can save millions of lives, and it is the next generation that needs
to drive this message in the years to come. I would like to extend my deepest regards to all people involved with this initiative over the years in
making this initiative such a huge success,” said Ashima Bhat, Group Head–Business Finance & Strategy, Administration, Infrastructure, ESG
& CSR. Over 4.5 lakh donors are expected to participate in this year's drive.
