Khergam Blood Donation Camp Creates History with 119 Units
A powerful wave of compassion and social responsibility swept through Khergam after the Matrvandana Blood Donation Camp achieved a historic milestone by collecting 119 units of blood in a single day. The remarkable turnout and overwhelming public response have made the camp a major talking point not only in Khergam but also across nearby regions. What stood out most was the exceptional participation of women, who accounted for more than 40 percent of the total donors, sending a strong and inspiring message to society.
The camp was organized in Khergam by young leader and social activist Dr. Nirav Bhulabhai Patel, in loving memory of his mother Chintuben Bhulabhai Patel, marking her death anniversary. The occasion was also connected with the birthdays of his children, turning a personal moment into a larger humanitarian initiative. By linking family milestones with public welfare, the event reflected a deep-rooted culture of service and gratitude.
Chintuben Bhulabhai Patel was widely respected for her lifelong dedication to education and social service. She had received the Best Teacher Award from the Government of Gujarat along with three prestigious state-level honors during her career. Beyond awards and recognition, she remained deeply connected with the local community and was remembered as a compassionate figure who touched countless lives. Organizing the blood camp in her memory was seen as a meaningful tribute to her legacy.
The blood donation drive continued late into the night and witnessed an extraordinary level of enthusiasm. More than 300 people underwent hemoglobin testing, demonstrating growing awareness about health screening and responsible blood donation. From early morning itself, long queues of donors were seen at the venue, reflecting both eagerness and discipline. The entire atmosphere was marked by service, empathy, and a sense of collective responsibility.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Nirav Patel stated that donors from diverse communities—including Hindu, Muslim, Christian, and tribal backgrounds—participated wholeheartedly. Out of the 119 donors, women formed nearly 40 percent, a figure that surprised even the organizers. Particularly encouraging was the participation of first-time women donors, many of whom overcame fear and social hesitation to contribute. Their confidence and commitment were widely praised by attendees.
The camp served as a strong platform to challenge long-standing myths and fears surrounding blood donation, especially among women. By stepping forward in large numbers, women donors helped normalize blood donation and encouraged others to view it as a safe and noble act. Many attendees noted that such initiatives play a vital role in spreading awareness and fostering a culture of voluntary blood donation within society.
Medical and logistical support for the camp was provided by the Valsad Blood Donation Center. The team led by Dr. Kamal Patel and Bhavesh Raichana worked tirelessly to ensure smooth operations. Although the camp was originally scheduled to run until 10 PM, the team continued their work until 11 PM with unwavering dedication, handling blood collection and testing procedures efficiently and cheerfully.
Throughout the event, strict discipline, cleanliness, and medical protocols were maintained. Donors were guided carefully before and after donation, and proper rest and refreshments were arranged to ensure their well-being. Organizers emphasized that donor safety was given the highest priority, which further strengthened public trust in the initiative.
The Matr̥vandana Blood Donation Camp is now being hailed as a successful model of community-driven human service. Residents believe that such well-organized camps not only address urgent blood requirements but also build a long-term positive mindset toward voluntary blood donation. In emergency situations, timely availability of blood can mean the difference between life and death, and initiatives like this directly contribute to saving lives.
The impact of the camp continues to be felt across Khergam and surrounding areas. Discussions about the event are ongoing, and many local residents have expressed a desire to replicate similar programs in their own communities. The overwhelming participation, especially by women, has redefined social perceptions and set a new benchmark for future blood donation drives.
Ultimately, the Khergam Matr̥vandana Blood Donation Camp will be remembered not just for the 119 units of blood collected, but for the powerful message of unity, humanity, and selfless service it delivered. It stands as a reminder that when communities come together with compassion and purpose, they can truly create history and save countless lives.
