Vidya’s Blood Stem Cell Donation Camp stands remarkable with the huge participation of engineering students

In India, the rate of blood disorders like leukemia or thalassemia is on the rise. A stem cell transplant from a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donor is often the only chance of survival for these patients.

Vysakh Krishnan V, an alumnus of Vidya, a blood stem cell donor, shared his donation journey to encourage others to register. Vysakh inspired the students when he recounted his experience of donating stem cells to help a person in need of a stem cell transplant survive and the person who was cured expressed his gratitude.Vaishakh inspired the students when he recounted his experience of donating stem cells to help a person in need of a stem cell transplant survive and the person who was cured expressed his gratitude.
