The Blood Donors Kerala Bahrain Chapter, led by Mr. Vinod Bhaskaran, has been actively involved in blood donation efforts in Bahrain, especially as the world celebrates another Blood Donation Day. Mr. Bhaskaran, a bus conductor from Kerala, founded the Blood Donors Kerala organization in 2014 after being inspired by the constant need for blood in hospitals and the power of social media to connect like-minded individuals. What started as a small group has now become a registered charitable trust with branches across Kerala and the Middle East, including Bahrain.
Since its establishment in Bahrain in December 2016, the BDK Bahrain chapter has worked closely with various government medical facilities, such as King Hamad University Hospital, Salmaniya Medical Hospital, and Bahrain Defence Force Hospital, to ensure that the demand for blood is met in a timely manner. Through more than 85 blood donation drives, they have managed to collect blood from over 15,000 donors, making a significant impact on the community’s healthcare needs.
In addition to their blood donation campaigns, the BDK Bahrain chapter is also involved in various humanitarian and charitable initiatives. They distribute food kits to the underprivileged on Fridays, provide financial assistance for medical treatments, and offer flying tickets to individuals in need. This dedication to helping those in need has made the organization a valuable asset to the community in Bahrain.
The day-to-day activities of the BDK Bahrain chapter are overseen by a committee of dedicated individuals who are committed to the organization’s mission. Those who wish to get in touch with the association or participate in their initiatives can contact K.T. Salim at 33750999 or Roji John at 39125828 for more information on how to get involved or contribute to their cause.
Overall, the efforts of the Blood Donors Kerala Bahrain Chapter have made a significant impact on the healthcare sector in Bahrain. By organizing numerous blood donation drives, collaborating with government medical facilities, and engaging in charitable activities, they have shown a deep commitment to the well-being of the community. Their selfless efforts continue to inspire and encourage others to come forward and support their noble cause.
