Voluntary Blood Stem Cell Donor Registration Camp

The Department of Electronics and Biomedical Engineering at Adi Shankara Institute of Engineering and Technology, in collaboration with EBSAA, NSS Units, and DATRI, successfully organized a Voluntary Blood Stem Cell Donor Registration Camp on Wednesday, the 12th, at the institute's auditorium. The event aimed to raise awareness about the life-saving potential of stem cell donation in treating over 80 life-threatening blood disorders, including blood cancer. Participants learned about the critical need for matching donors, given the only 25% chance of finding a match within a family. The registration process was simple, requiring a cheek swab sample, and thorough medical tests ensured donor safety. Open to individuals aged 18-50, the camp encouraged students and faculty to take a step toward saving lives. The initiative received a remarkable response, reinforcing the institution's commitment to social responsibility and medical advancements.
