Governor lays foundation for thalassemia ward

The Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS)’s district branch rendered exemplary service during the COVID-19 pandemic by organising blood donation camps for the benefit of blood transfusion-dependent patients, said Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan.

Donation of blood was the best programme the IRCS conducted during the pandemic when most of the persons were unable to donate blood at that time, she said, lauding the IRCS local branch for its focus on rendering help to the patients suffering from thalassemia and sickle cell anaemia, which are prevalent in Bhadrachalam Agency inhabited by Adivasi koyas.

She was speaking at the IRCS blood bank in Bhadrachalam after laying the foundation stone for thalassemia and sickle cell anaemia ward in the temple town on Monday.
