Blood Donation Drive by NCSC- A Powerful Step Towards Saving Lives

on

 In a meaningful display of service, awareness, and community spirit, the NUTECH Community Services Club (NCSC), in collaboration with the Pakistan Thalassemia Welfare Society, successfully organized a Blood Donation Drive at NUTECH University. The event stood as a testament to how collective effort, student participation, and a sense of responsibility can come together to make a real difference.

Venue: National University of Technology (NUTECH)


Held within the university campus, the event brought together students, faculty, and organisers with a shared purpose--to donate blood and raise awareness about life-threatening diseases. The campus atmosphere was filled with energy, compassion, and a commitment to serve humanity.

Awareness Seminar- Educating Hearts and Minds:

An informative seminar session was held as part of the drive, focusing on three critical health topics:

Thalassemia: A Preventable Genetic Disorder:

Students were educated about Thalassemia, a hereditary condition affecting the blood.
The session clarified its transmission patterns:

  • If both parents are minor thalassemia carriers, their child is at high risk of having major thalassemia, a severe condition requiring lifelong treatment.
  • If only one partner is a minor carrier, the child is typically not affected.
The seminar strongly advocated for premarital screening, stressing its importance in breaking the chain of this disorder.

Blood Cancer- The Urgent Need for Donors:


The next topic covered was Blood Cancer, focusing on its three main types:
  1. Leukemia
  2. Lymphoma
  3. Myeloma
These conditions often require consistent blood transfusions for treatment. Students gained valuable insights into the critical role blood plays in supporting patients through such threatening battles.

Benefits of Blood Donation:

The seminar concluded with a session on the benefits of regular blood donation, not just for the recipient but also for the donor. Key takeaways included:

  • Improved cardiovascular health
  • Controlled iron levels
  • Stimulation of new blood cell production
  • Psychological satisfaction from helping others

Remarkable Impact-86 Bags in Just 4 Hours:


Thanks to the active participation and enthusiastic collaboration of NUTECH students, the drive achieved an outstanding milestone: 86 blood bags were collected within just four hours. The students showed great responsibility, discipline, and commitment to the cause.

Appreciation and Acknowledgment :

To recognize the generous contributions of the student donors, Appreciation Certificates were awarded on the spot. These tokens of gratitude reflected not just participation but a powerful act of compassion that could potentially save lives.

Behind the scenes, the NCSC team remained highly active and engaged throughout the event-- from organizing logistics to coordinating donors and managing awareness activities. Their dedication and teamwork ensured that the event was smooth, impactful, and deeply meaningful.

A Step Forward in Youth-Led Service:


This Blood Donation Drive was more than a health campaign--it was a reflection of the spirit of service, unity, and awareness that NCSC and the students of NUTECH continue to uphold. Through events like this, a culture of compassion and responsibility is being nurtured in the leaders of tomorrow.

Donated Blood. Give Life. Make a Difference.
