Hyderabad: In a significant humanitarian initiative to support children living with thalassemia, the Paigham-e-Insaniyat Forum (East Zone, Hyderabad) organised a blood donation camp in the city, which drew an overwhelming community response. As many as 515 people donated blood, making a valuable contribution towards ensuring timely transfusions for children dependent on regular blood support.
The camp’s primary objective was to help ensure a regular, timely supply of blood for children with thalassemia, a serious genetic blood disorder that affects the body’s ability to produce adequate healthy haemoglobin and results in persistent anaemia.
Dr. Chandrakant Agarwal, President, TSCS, Dr. Suman Jain – CEO and Secretary – TSCS, Mr Aleem Baig, Joint Secretary – TSCS and Mrs. Ratnavali Kotapalli- Vice President -TSCS extended their gratitude for the blood donation camp. TSCS – Thalassemia Sickle Cell Centre in Hyderabad is currently providing treatment to approximately 4,800 children. Ensuring a consistent and timely supply of blood for such a large number of patients remains a major challenge.
The blood donation campaign is part of the various humanitarian and welfare activities undertaken by the All India Paigham-e-Insaniyat Forum and has been conducted consistently for nearly five years. Through the initiative, the Forum not only helps patients access much-needed blood but also seeks to promote the values of humanity, compassion, selflessness and mutual cooperation.
Among those who attended the programme were Maulana Muhammad Nafees Khan Nadwi, Professor at Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama, Lucknow, who travelled specially from Lucknow to participate in the initiative, and Maulana Feroz Ahmad Nadwi. They participated in the blood donation campaign and appreciated the dedicated efforts of the Paigham-e-Insaniyat Forum team.
The programme was also attended by noted journalist Abu Aimal, Mufti Nisar Ahmad Nadwi, Maulana Syed Faheemuddin Nadwi, and several other distinguished personalities.
Maulana Syed Qutbuddin Nadwi, In-charge of the East Zone Unit, warmly welcomed the guests, made the necessary arrangements for their participation, and briefed them about the objectives and humanitarian activities of the Paigham-e-Insaniyat Forum.
The guests and participants appreciated the Forum’s continued humanitarian efforts and assured the organisers of their continued cooperation and support for similar initiatives in the future.
The successful blood donation camp, with 515 donors coming forward to support thalassemia children, reflected the growing spirit of compassion and social responsibility among the people of Hyderabad.
