Ahmedabad’s Lionhearts

As part of its 60th anniversary celebrations, the Ahmedabad Red Cross Blood Bank honored its Champion Sherdils — individuals and institutions who have set blood donation records.

Over the last 60 years, these donors have collected 56.65 lakh units of blood, increasing Ahmedabad’s Blood Donor to Population (BDP) ratio to four times the national average of 0.9% and 2.5 times the global average of 1.5%.

Notably, between 1963 and 2022, the Red Cross in Ahmedabad collected 56.65 lakh units of 450 ml each, totaling 254.925 crore ml. If a 3 mm diameter collection tube was used, it would stretch 3,60,573 km, the shortest distance between the Earth and the Moon.

The Ahmedabad Red Cross collects 2.27 lakh blood units per year, which translates to one donation every 2 minutes and 24 seconds. The Ahmedabad Red Cross collects 2.27 lakh blood units per year, which translates to one donation every 2 minutes and 24 seconds.

A total of 2,265 blood donation camps were held in a year, which equates to 6 camps per day and one every 4 hours throughout the year. On January 4, the Red Cross will honour 161 “Sherdils” for their accomplishment. According to a Red Cross statement issued on Monday, 40 organisations assisted in the organisation of most camps, and 20 champion institutional donors helped collect a total of 5,000 units of blood.

A total of 121 Centurion Blood Donors will be honoured. Ahmedabad now has the most centurions of any city in the world.

The city has female, disabled, and negative centurion blood donors. At least 2,500 people have given blood more than once.
