In the past 60 days, in the overwhelming backdrop of #COVID19 there may have been a tendency to forget that standard medical emergencies are still a part our daily lives, there are hundreds who are undergoing surgeries and require blood transfusions. (1/N)
The lock-down protocols combined with the risk & fear of virus transmissions, volunteer blood donations have been at an all time low. Blood banks had been struggling. I was deeply concerned about it's ramifications until I visited #BloodDonation Camp organised at Ruby Hall. (2/5) 
I was pleasantly surprised & heartened to see volunteer citizens respond to the Govt's call and #donateblood in large numbers at camps organised by "Dr. Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari Pratishthan" at Ruby Hall Clinic, Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital and Sassoon General Hospital. (3/5)
I visited the camp organised at Ruby Hall, where all the donors, medical staff, volunteers and organizers are strictly adhering to medical protocols, exercising self-discipline, donating blood fearlessly and setting a good example for the society. (4/5)

Also took this opportunity to interact with Staff, Doctors and Nurses at #Ruby Hall Clinic. Got some insight into how Non-Covid patients are being treated during this time, what protocols are in place and what are the apprehensions & fears of both the patients and staff. (5/5)
