As done in previous years, on the occasion of National Cancer Rose Day, Department of Immunohaematology and Blood Transfusion under the initiative of Director, RIMS provided 36 units of blood to the cancer patients of RIMS Hospital without replacement and service charges.
The department has been supplying blood and components to the needy patients who have no replacement donors or multiply transfused patients free of replacements.
Recently, as part of the 'Non-replacement month programme' of the State Blood Transfusion Council (SBTC) Manipur, beginning the June 16, the department till today has supplied a total of 1008 blood and component units to the needy patients free of replacement.
The credit for this service of saving lives goes to the altruistic act of many voluntary blood donors of the State who donated blood selflessly for the cause of saving lives.
The Director RIMS and Department of IHBT, RIMS, on the occasion of the National Cancer Rose Day 2013 wished speedy recovery to the cancer patients of the state and heartily appreciated and thanked the voluntary blood donors.
