As the president of the Indian Red Cross Society's Andhra Pradesh State Branch, he emphasized the crucial role that blood donation plays in strengthening the healthcare system and saving countless lives.
Theme of the Year: "Give Blood, Give Hope"
This year, the World Blood Donors Day centers around the theme "Give Blood, Give Hope, Together We Save Lives." The Governor highlighted the significance of this message, encouraging the community to join hands in meeting the ongoing demand for blood, especially for those in urgent need.
Mobilizing Youth and Students for a Lifesaving Cause
Addressing the youth and students of Andhra Pradesh, Governor Abdul Nazeer urged them to take an active role by registering as blood donors. He pointed out that blood donations can be conveniently arranged through the state’s Red Cross Mobile App, which connects donors to 20 Red Cross Blood Centres across Andhra Pradesh.
By stepping forward to donate, individuals can provide vital support to patients, including the economically disadvantaged and vulnerable populations who often face difficulty accessing timely blood transfusions.

- The continuous availability of blood ensures hospitals and clinics can meet critical patient needs.
- Voluntary donors contribute immensely to community health resilience and emergency preparedness.
Governor Nazeer’s appeal underscores a communal responsibility to contribute to public health and exemplifies how small actions like blood donation can create a ripple effect of hope and life.
With the steady cooperation of citizens, Andhra Pradesh can strengthen its healthcare infrastructure and save millions of lives every year.
