Organized by: Inspire Youth Nepal

Project Overview:

Inspire Youth Nepal has been conducting a Blood Donation Campaign with the aim to support the healthcare system and to provide the blood to the needy ones. We act as the reliable mediator saving lives and ensuring the availability of safe blood for those who are in the urgent need. This recurring project has helped numerous victims and saved many lives during the emergency situation. We have coordinated with the Blood Bank of Kathmandu Central NRCS Blood Bank (Soaltee-Mode), Frontline Hospital Blood Bank (Old Baneshwor), Gangalal Hospital (Bansbari), and the Nepal Police Hospital (Maharajgunj), which have been facilitating the proper storage and the proper distribution of the collected blood to the designated hospitals and individuals as per the requirement.

Basically, this campaign is organized to depict the importance of donating the blood that helps many to survive during the critical situation. We stand as the bridge between the generous blood donors and critically ill patients who require the blood in the urgent basis for the cases like surgeries, accidents, medical conditions or other emergencies.

This campaign is the sample for humanitarian service especially among the youth and we are really proud to run a Blood Donation Campaign as a part of this initiation. This life-saving initiative aims to address the critical shortage of blood in hospitals. It basically assists the individuals who urgently require blood. For the safe and secure implementation of this campaign, we are in close partnership with the Blood Bank of Kathmandu and local medical institutions.

For the clear and greater visibility, accessibility and participation, this campaign is launched once in every month in various locations of the Kathmandu Valley.
