In the era of current pandemic, the voluntary blood donation activity is hampered a lot. It was the need of the hour to motivate more and more people to come forward and donate blood altruistically. As a gathering could not take place in such a situation, ISBTI-Gujarat chapter had conducted a Webinar on the occasion of World blood donor day 2020. The Webinar was conducted on Zoom platform and streamed live on Facebook. Dr Rajesh Gopal, Director, GSCBT made a presentation on the Scenario in COVID pandemic in Blood Centres of Gujarat. Technical aspects for conduction of blood donation activities was nicely explained by Dr. Ripal Shah, Secretary, ISBTI - Gujarat Chapter. Video message for Blood donation and 14th June from Honorable Deputy Chief Minister, Government of Gujarat; Honorable State Minister, Health and Family Welfare Dept., Government of Gujarat; Principal Secretary, Health and Family Welfare Dept., Government of Gujarat; and Shri Prem Swami, Spiritual leader of Swaminarayan Sampraday had been streamed in the webinar.
