Approximately 60 percent of the population is eligible to donate blood, yet less than five percent do.
Somewhere in the world, every three seconds someone needs blood. To meet this need nearly 120 million units of blood are donated every year. Regular blood donations from healthy people are vital to ensure that safe blood will available to save lives when people need transfusions due to severe trauma from accidents; complex surgery; cancer treatment, or regular transfusions for conditions such as sickle cell disease. There is a constant need for blood donations because blood can be stored for only a limited time before use.
Donating blood is safe; there is no risk of contracting any disease through donating blood. Each donor receives his or her sterile blood bag and needle each time.
You can donate 450 ml, three to four times a year. Each of us has about five liters of blood in our body, which is continuously replenished.
A little of your time and a simple needle prick can transform you into a superhero, helping medical staff save lives.
