Dr. Krunal Sherathiya, a local pediatric dentist, emphasized the unique importance of blood donation, adding, “Blood is something only people can give—there’s no substitute—and routine donations ensure hospitals always have the supply needed for emergencies, surgeries, and patients in critical care.”
