Adani Foundation organises nationwide blood donation drive on Gautam Adani’s 62nd birthday

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], June 25 (ANI): Adani Foundation, the community engagement arm of the Adani Group, organised a blood donation drive across India on Monday to mark the 62nd birthday of Group Chairman Gautam Adani. The drive was conducted in 152 cities across 21 states of the country, said the foundation.

Organised under the guidance of the Adani Healthcare team, the drive received an overwhelming response from employees, according to a press release by the foundation.

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, Priti Adani, Chairperson of the 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 the blood banks of the Red Cross and government hospitals. A team, comprising over 2,000 doctors, paramedics, data operators and staff of Adani companies, played a key role in making the blood collection drive a big success.
