An appeal to donate blood at IRCS NHQ! Donate blood and help the needy tide over this difficult period

Donating blood during COVID19 is safe

Blood Donation - COVID-19 The blood donation process does not expose an individual to the risk of contracting COVID-19. IRCS NHQ Blood Bank is taking all precautions to ensure safety of staff, blood donors as well as patients by using thermal scanners, regularly cleaning couches, gloves, masks, etc. with disinfectants and maintaining adequate distance by practicing Social Distancing.

With the Centre, declaring blood services as essential services, IRCS started holding blood donation camps by sending mobile blood collection units to various localities across Delhi from 13 April, 2020. IRCS, NHQ is following all infection control and social distancing measures such as two couches instead of the earlier practice of four to draw blood. There will be at least 3 metre gap between the two couches and at one time there will be no more than three people allowed in the camp. The vans are being disinfected on a regular basis.

For groups of 6-10 / individual voluntary blood donors, pick and drop facility is being provided
