The Indian High Commission in Maldives organised a blood donation camp on Saturday to commemorate World Blood Donor Day, encouraging voluntary donation and strengthening people-to-people ties between the Indian and Maldivian communities.
The event was inaugurated by the Minister of Health, Abdulla Nazim Ibrahim, and attended by Indian High Commissioner G. Balasubramanian, along with staff from the High Commission and members of the Indian community. This is the second blood donation initiative organised by the High Commission in 2025 to support local health services.
The High Commissioner and other officials took part in the donation process, reflecting a broader campaign by Indian missions worldwide to promote voluntary blood donation. This year’s theme for World Blood Donor Day, “Give blood, give hope: together we save lives,” underscores the importance of safe, accessible blood supplies and the role of regular donors.
The High Commission noted the positive turnout and reiterated its commitment to initiatives that contribute to the well-being of Maldivians, particularly in times of need.
