Blood is a ‘gift of life’ that a healthy individual can safely give to those in need.
Blood cannot be manufactured and only human blood can be used for transfusion to human beings.
Blood donation requires only 30 minutes of your time.
Your body contains 5 litres of blood, of which you donate only 350-450ml.
Your blood volume gets replenished within 24-48 hours.
By donating one unit of blood you can save not just one but 3 lives.
Each blood unit is separated into blood components like platelets, plasma, cryoprecipitate which are transfused to different patients according to their indication.
Blood transfusions are frequently required for patients with various conditions like thalassemia, haemophilia, leukaemia, malignancies, organ transplant patients, accident victims, major surgeries, premature babies and many more..
