On 20th August 2010, HMRI collaborated with the Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Society Blood Bank to conduct a blood donation drive on HMRI's campus.
The Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Society of Hyderabad, is an NGO started in 1998 by patients, parents, doctors, and well wishers and is the only society in Andhra Pradesh committed for the care and control of Thalassemia and Sickle Cell disease.
The blood bank is meant for the use of patients – especially children – suffering from Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Anaemia, who in most cases require chronic blood transfusion therapy.
HMRI's associates responded enthusiastically and made the blood donation drive a huge success.
