We express our heartfelt gratitude to every member of the TMH Blood Centre, including our technical staff, resident doctors, nursing staff, faculty members, administrative personnel, and colleagues. This achievement belongs to all of them. Their unwavering dedication, teamwork, and pursuit of excellence have been instrumental in making this recognition possible.
We are sincerely grateful to Dr. Ravi Reddy, the award committee, and ISBT for this prestigious honour. To receive an award bearing the name of a stalwart whose contributions have profoundly influenced Transfusion Medicine worldwide is a privilege and an inspiration.
