The blood donation was attended by youth, social workers, locals, and others.
Biju Bajracharya, president of the Everest Optimist Club and coordinator of the program, said that the coronavirus infection has created an uncomfortable situation in the hospital due to lack of blood for the treatment of patients.

Minister Manandhar thanked the philanthropic clubs for distributing testimonials and tokens of affection to the volunteers and other donors who donated their precious blood at a time when the world was terrorized by the Corona infection.
