FLO Amritsar, under the leadership of Chairperson Tannya Khanna, partnered with the Indian Medical Association (IMA), Amritsar, to organise a voluntary Blood Donation Drive at IMA House, Amritsar. Conducted under the chapter’s Health & Wellness initiatives, the programme encouraged members and the wider community to contribute towards strengthening local healthcare through voluntary blood donation.
The event brought together medical professionals, volunteers, FLO members, and community participants, all united by a common purpose of saving lives. The medical team from IMA ensured that every stage of the donation process—from registration and health screening to donation and post-donation care—was carried out safely and professionally, creating a comfortable experience for both new and repeat donors.
Beyond collecting blood, the initiative served as an awareness platform highlighting the vital role that regular voluntary donation plays in supporting hospitals, emergency services, and patients requiring blood transfusions. Healthcare experts interacted with participants, addressing myths surrounding blood donation and explaining its benefits for both donors and recipients.
The drive reinforced the idea that community wellbeing depends on collective participation and that a single donation has the potential to save multiple lives. Members were encouraged to view blood donation not merely as a charitable act but as an ongoing social responsibility capable of strengthening healthcare systems and supporting countless families during times of medical need.
The initiative also strengthened the partnership between FICCI FLO Amritsar and IMA Amritsar, laying the foundation for future collaborative healthcare programmes. Widely appreciated by participants, the drive demonstrated how meaningful partnerships between civic organisations and medical institutions can create lasting social impact while encouraging a culture of compassion, service and community leadership.
