It is unfortunate that India runs short of two million units of blood every year, despite our huge population. Blood cannot be manufactured and there is no substitute of human blood; it can only come from generous donors.

An adult has ten units of blood in their body, and only one unit is given during a donation. One donation can save almost three lives. If you began donating blood at age 18 and donated every 90 days until you reached 60, you would have donated at least 112 litters of blood, potentially helping save more than 500 lives.

BLOOD DONATION IS GOOD FOR DONOR as well as blood donation helps to reduce risk of heart attack and cancer, burns calories & helps in weight loss, maintain healthy liver, prevents Hemochromatosis, and helps to maintain iron level.

World Blood Donor Day is celebrated today by conducting blood donation and awareness camp at Noon Hospital & Research Centre in collaboration with Raktima Blood Bank.
