400 people donated blood and 400 units of blood collected

There is no alternative to blood and humans only can manufacture it. Hence, blood donation is very important: Smt. N Bhavani Sri, IAS Deputy Development Commissioner, Special Economic Zone

Phoenix Foundation in association with Chiranjeevi Blood Bank organised a Blood Donation Drive on the occasion of its Founder’s Day on Tuesday at Phoenix Aquila (Tower-B), Adjacent to Continental Hospitals, Road No 1, Financial District, Nanakramguda.

It was organised in the loving memory of its founder Lat Shri Chukkapalli Sankara Rao.

Dr Madhavi, Chief Medical Officer of Chiranjeevi Blood Bank; Naina Jaiswal, Table Tennis player; Avinash Chukkapalli Director Phoenix Group; Mrs Madhumati Chukkapalli,; Mrs Aparna Patibanda and Mr Aakash Chukkapalli graced the occasion

Ms. N. Bhavani said blood is made of many complex parts that serve specific functions. It's tough to reproduce each one properly. A human body has to manufacture blood and there is no alternative. She lauded the efforts of the Phoenix Foundation.

Naina Jaiswal said blood is for circulation and it must be donated.

Speaking on the occasion Srikanth said Phoenix Foundation has been doing health, and blood donation camps since 2002. The foundation focuses on CSR activities. We have done well over 100 such camps in the past many years. We have been doing Free Eye Surgery Camps.

Speaking about blood donation he said one can donate blood every month. One bottle of blood can save somebody’s life.

Dr Madhavi said a one-time blood donation saves 3 three lives. There is no synthetic substitute for human blood. She urged people to come and donate blood voluntarily.

Donating blood is healthy as it allows the body to renew within a few weeks. It also helps clear the iron deposits in the body, which reduces the risk of heart ailments. It also helps to improve your quality of life.

The donors were given away certificates.
