Kohima, July 16: Demonstrating its commitment to humanitarian service and community welfare, the Indian Army organised a Voluntary Blood Donation Camp at Kohima in collaboration with Naga Hospital, reinforcing its support for healthcare services and civil-military cooperation.

Organisers said such collaborative programmes not only strengthen healthcare infrastructure but also foster mutual trust and cooperation between the Army and civil administration.
The Indian Army reaffirmed its commitment to serving the nation both in times of conflict and peace, stating that humanitarian initiatives like voluntary blood donation remain an integral part of its mission to support communities and save lives.
