PFC CEO urges voluntary blood donation to save precious lives
LAHORE, Jul 05 (APP):Pakistan Furniture Council (PFC) Chief Executive Officer(CEO),Mian Kashif Ashfaq on Sunday said that one pint of donated blood could save the lives of three patients suffering from thalassemia, cancer, childbirth complications and other life-threatening conditions.
Talking to a delegation of the Sundas Foundation,led by its founder and President Dr Muhammad Yasin Khan, he said thousands of patients depended entirely on voluntary blood donors for their survival. Quoting the Holy Quran, he said, “Whoever saves one life, it is as if he has saved all of mankind” (Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:32),highlighting the immense spiritual reward and moral responsibility of helping those in need.
He said blood donation was a practical manifestation of the selflessness and compassion encouraged by Islam.
Citing medical research,he said donating blood did not adversely affect the donor’s health, as the body naturally replenished fresh blood within a short period.
He urged eligible individuals to donate blood regularly,saying that a simple act of generosity every few months could make a lasting difference without posing any significant health risk to the donor.
Mian Kashif Ashfaq called for promoting a culture of voluntary blood donation and encouraging young people to become regular donors to help save precious lives and strengthen the spirit of humanity and brotherhood.
He said young and healthy people should come forward to donate blood regularly, giving hope and a second chance at life to those in desperate need.
The CEO also lauded the outstanding humanitarian services of the Sundas Foundation for providing blood free of cost to patients in a timely manner.
He appreciated the foundation’s efforts in offering free meals to attendants and extending facilities to families bringing their children to the center for treatment.
