The fine art of creating blood donors at home; and resources for those in Chennai seeking to donate blood
In 29-year-old, George Town resident Shaikh Shamsudeen’s mind is lodged a memory that time cannot bleed away. Back in 2016, that memorable day arrived unbidden, and when it ended, a desire Shamsudeen had nursed for years had been fulfilled; the desire to follow in his father Shaikh Sadaqathullah’s footsteps as a selfless blood donor. New College has always had a strong culture of blood donation, supporting government hospitals particularly Royapettah GH.
