Why donate blood? |
|
Blood is the part of life that is given to those who need it by those who
have the resource to satisfy the need. The love of fellow human and a desire to
share something of oneself is what singles out a blood donor from the others. Emergencies
occur every minute. For each patient requiring blood, it is an emergency and the
patients could have set back if blood is not available.
Your blood donation may be even more special than you realize A single donation
from you can help one or more patients. This is possible because whole blood is
made up of several useful components. These components perform special functions
in your body and in the body of patients who receive your blood. Various blood
components are Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Plasma and selected
Plasma Proteins. Each of these components can be separated from your donated volume
of blood and transfused into a specific patient requiring that particular component.
Thus, many can benefit from one unit of blood. Every year India requires 40 million
units of 250cc blood out of which only a meager 500,000 of blood units are available.
