Expats donate blood at Shanghai charity event

Bloodline, a non-profit organization dedicated to rallying expatriates for voluntary blood donations to aid children fighting blood cancer, has spearheaded more than 50 blood drives since its establishment in 2017.

Ashish Maskay, the founder of Bloodline and a Nepalese surgeon serving as the director of Shanghai expatriate healthcare at Shanghai United Family Hospital, revealed that over 5,000 individuals from 68 countries have contributed blood donations through the platform.

Maskay underscored the communal spirit driving the initiative, saying, "It's all about coming together as a community and giving back to the city we love so much". He highlighted the participants' shared affection for Shanghai as the driving force behind their altruistic actions.
