In observance of World Blood Donor Day, the High Commission of India in Maldives joined hands with Tree Top Hospital in Hulhumalé to host a dedicated blood donation camp today. The initiative was marked by efficient planning and warm camaraderie, underlining a powerful gesture of regional support.

Abdulla Nazim Ibrahim, Minister of Health, inaugurated the camp with a statement of gratitude and encouragement. He applauded the collaborative effort between the Indian mission and local healthcare providers.
Officials from the Indian High Commission and volunteers from the Indian expatriate community lined up to donate—making this the second such event by the mission this year. Their active participation demonstrated India’s sustained commitment to bolstering Maldivian blood reserves during times of need.
Tree Top Hospital staff oversaw the process with professionalism. Donor registration, pre-screening, and post-donation care were handled seamlessly. The hospital’s efficient setup ensured donors were comfortable and safe throughout the procedure.
World Blood Donor Day, observed each year on 14 June, serves as a global reminder of the importance of voluntary, unpaid blood donation. The 2025 theme—“Give blood, give hope: together we save lives”—resonates deeply in the Maldives, where remote geography makes consistent blood supplies a vital public health priority.
Today’s camp not only contributed valuable blood units, but it also strengthened the humanitarian bond between Maldives and India. The presence of Minister Nazim and the enthusiastic turnout of donors from both communities sent a strong message of unity and shared responsibility.
The Health experts encourages residents—including Maldivian citizens and expatriates—to take inspiration from this event and consider regular donations. Each unit collected today helps sustain local healthcare services and underpins emergency preparedness across the archipelago.
