GRANT TITLE
Mobile Blood Donation Van for Life Saving Community Health Services
The Rotary Club of Ujjain ID 15206 District 3040 will provide a Mobile Blood Donation Van at Pushpa Mission Hospital & Maternity Home, Ujjain.
The Pushpa Mission Hospital is a unit of The Diocese of Ujjain, which serves humanity with the most ethics in the field of Disease Prevention and Treatment and Maternal and Child Health
The mobile van will help meet the increasing demand for blood and its components in Ujjain and surrounding regions by conducting blood donation drives in remote and underserved areas.
The project aims to enhance the center's capacity to collect, store, and distribute blood while raising awareness about the importance of blood donation. In the end, this will save lives and strengthen community health infrastructure.
The Blood Centre at Pushpa Mission Hospital was established in 2010-11 with the help of the Rotary Foundation (I) and TRF. The project's total budget was $55200.
Our esteemed international partners were the Rotary Club of Charlotte-South (D-7680), U.S., and the Rotary Club of Bergamo Nord, Italy (D-2040). The Matching Grant # 74246 and # 74318 respectively
