The MoU covers the issues of conducting regular, planned and sustainable blood donation programs in educational institutions affiliated with HISAN, organizing awareness and sensitization programs related to blood circulation, and involving students in volunteer social work and on-the-job training programs.
Similarly, the agreement also mentions the provision that the center will take full responsibility for the technical manpower, materials, blood collection, testing, transportation and management required for the operation of the blood donation program.
A joint blood donation program was also held at CCRC College on the day the agreement was signed. The center stated in a press release that 91 blood donors voluntarily donated blood at the program.
