Why donate blood?
Till date there’s no substitute for blood. Only donated blood can provide
adequate supply of blood to save life of those who need it. You give a second chance to someone unknown to you. Sometimes it happens that one who needs blood could be a friend, family member or yourself.
India is a vast country which has requirement of approximate 9 million units of blood every year but only 4.2 millions of units are met. It means there’s more than 50% shortage of blood. It also means that almost 6 out of 10 are losing life due to lack of blood during emergency surgeries like accident, heart surgery & maternal operations.
Whenever you donate blood, the body can easily replenish the lost blood volume within 24-48 hours. Hence you are welcoming new blood into your body. In that way there’s no loss.
A one unit of donated blood can save up to 3 people when supplied into three different components as Red blood cells, Fresh frozen plasma and Platelet concentrate/ platelet rich plasma.
A self fulfillment for a lifetime of saving a person’s life during emergency.
How much can one donate?
8 ml per kg of body weight, i.e., approx 350 ml for a person having 45 kg of weight and 450 ml for a person having 55 kg & above. This is just 7 % of the 5 litres of blood in your body, and can be donated without causing you any harm at all. Your body naturally replenishes this amount of blood volume within 24 hours to few days.
