As part of its ongoing commitment to social responsibility, PT Darya-Varia Laboratoria Tbk (Darya-Varia) recently held a blood donation in collaboration with RSUP Fatmawati. This humanitarian initiative was attended by over 100 participants, including both internal employees and external employee and partners of the Company.
The event ran smoothly and successfully collected more than 100 bags of blood, which were later distributed through the Indonesian Red Cross (Palang Merah Indonesia/PMI). These donations play a vital role in helping patients in various healthcare facilities who require blood transfusions.
In addition to benefiting recipients, regular blood donation also provides several health benefits for donors, including: 1,2
- Supporting heart health and improving blood circulation
- Reducing levels of bad cholesterol (LDL)
- Lowering excess iron, which may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases
- Decreasing the risk of certain cancers linked to iron overload
- Enhancing mental well-being by contributing to a meaningful cause
- Burning calories during each donation session
Darya-Varia’s HRD Operations Director, Dandan Darmawan, emphasized the importance of this initiative as part of the Company’s mission to make a positive impact on society. “This event is more than an annual routine—it is a sincere expression of our appreciation for the Company’s long journey and growth alongside the community. We believe that even small acts like this can bring great hope to those in need,” he stated.
Through this blood donation drive, Darya-Varia reaffirms its role not only as a provider of health solutions, but also as a company committed to helping build a healthier Indonesia through sustainable social initiatives.
