Pandit Govt Hospital IMA Blood Bank (Sirsi), Shripad Hagde Kadave Blood Bank (Sirsi) and Uttara Kannada Rotary Blood Bank (Kumta) are now a part of Disha. Helpline stickers and posters have also been given to other blood banks of the area.

Owing to the generally good stocks of blood in the blood banks RKB had a moderate month in terms of number of blood donation drives. However, as and when the blood banks called in for a camp, we were able to cater to the need.

A total of 204 units were collected in 6 camps making the total for the year 7300 units.
