Adani Foundation, the community engagement arm of the Adani Group, organised a blood donation drive across India on 24 June to mark the 62nd birthday of Group Chairman Gautam Adani. The drive was conducted in 152 cities across 21 states of the country.
Organised under the guidance of the Adani Healthcare team, the drive received an overwhelming response from employees. As many as 24,500 units (approximately 9,800 litres) of blood was collected; this can help more than 73,500 patients through the use of different components, such as whole blood, PCV, platelet concentrates, plasma, FFP, cryoprecipitate and albumin. The collection this year surpassed last year’s 20,621 units.
Expressing her gratitude, Dr. Priti Adani, Chairperson of Adani Foundation, said, “I want to thank every member of our Adani family for their generous contribution to this noble cause. Their dedication, year after year, not only demonstrates their compassion but also reinforces our collective commitment to serve those in need.”
The drive was organised in partnership with blood banks of Red Cross and government hospitals. A team, comprising over 2,000 doctors, paramedics, data operators and staff of Adani companies, played a key role to make the blood collection drive a big success.
Since 2011, Adani Foundation has been organising an annual blood donation drive to mark the birthday of Gautam Adani. Through its initiatives, the Foundation remains committed to addressing critical challenges and bringing about sustainable and holistic development of communities.
