On the occasion of National Voluntary Blood Donation Day, the Jowai Civil Hospital Blood Bank took the opportunity to honour and recognize the selfless voluntary blood donors in a special event held in the Conference Room of the Centre on Monday.

This program was organized by the Blood Centre of Jowai Civil Hospital in collaboration with the State Blood Transfusion Council and the Meghalaya AIDS Control Society.
