Aizawl, 15 Feb (TOI): At least 1,032 youths took part in a blood donation camp organised across the state on Tuesday, on the occasion of Valentine's Day.
The 'Blood for your Valentines' programme was organised in all the 11 district headquarters by the Association for Voluntary Blood Donation (AVBD), Mizoram State AIDS Control Society (MSACS) and 11 blood banks.
Healthcare workers took advantage of the blood donation camps by apprising people about HIV/AIDS infection through unsafe sex and blood transfusion among intravenous drug users who use shared needles.
Discussions were held on importance of using condom and refraining from unsafe sex.
A number of prospective donors did not donate blood in Mamit district hospital as the hospital blood bank could store only 35 units of blood, sources from the Mizoram-Tripura border district said.
The 'Blood for Your Voluntines' camp was first organised in 2010, and there was a two-year hiatus during the Covid-19 pandemic, said AVBD members, adding that 9,772 units of blood have been donated till date.
