“Help us. We are facing a severe shortage of blood and blood products at Tata Memorial. Please come forward to donate blood. If anybody your housing societies can arrange larger blood donation camps, we can organize them on site. Please DM me if this is possible, and help amplify this call. Your selfless gesture can help us continue services as usual at the hospital. Grateful for your help.”
