PASIGHAT, Jul 1: To mark the ensuing Dree festival observed on July 5 next, the Pasighat Apatani Welfare Society today conducted a blood donation camp at the Bakin Pertin General Hospital, Pasighat.
Dr. Talung Tali, Jt. Director of Health Services and Dr. YR Darang, Medical Superintendent gracing the occasion appreciated the Pasighat Apatani Welfare Society (PAWS) for the noble initiative, adding that 'giving blood is giving life and there can’t be any better noble work than this.'
“During the 90s and in the later years people used to face several hardships for seeking blood, as there was taboo against donating blood. There was no social media and other medium to spread awareness on blood donation then. But today we are lucky, those taboos have vanished and people volunteer to donate blood," added Dr. Tali. 
PAWS led by Er. Hage Pilya, Chairman and Er. Hage Tazang, Gen. Secretary expressed their thankfulness for motivating and appreciating the entire Apatani members residing in and around Pasighat.
During the blood donation camp, 50 members volunteered to donate blood. But due to  medical reasons only 19 units could be donated. The blood donation camp was led by Dr. Taru Tazung who informed that it was the first time the members of PAWS are donating blood here in Pasighat to save lives. Dr. Tazung who happens to be a rare blood group category hoped that the blood donated would help needy patients.
