Introduction
The Lions District 322B1 Blood Centre was established in 1992-1993 by the then undivided Lions District 322B under the leadership of Lion Anand Chopra, the then District Governor.
Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has continuously provided support to the Blood Centre. Currently, it is a 1500 sqft air-conditioned blood Centre, which stores about 22000 units of blood and components every year. It collects blood from voluntary donors, as well as donation camps organized frequently at schools, corporate institutions, local clubs and various Lions Clubs.
The myths associated with donating blood, as well as a general public apathy towards it, makes the task of running a blood Centre entirely on voluntary donations a challenging task.
The equipment for blood testing, separation and storage is extremely expensive, and has been installed keeping in mind the long-term goals of the Blood Centre.
