Here is the answer to all our material obsession – blood, the lifeline of human beings, can be acquired only through donation! There is no way blood can be manufactured which leaves a donation as the only means to get blood when needed.

While safe blood saves lives and improves health, it is critical for women with complications of pregnancy, such as ectopic pregnancies and hemorrhage before, during or after childbirth, children with severe anemia due to malaria or malnutrition, people with severe trauma following man-made and natural disasters, cancer patients and for many complex medical and surgical procedures.

People who are battling Thalassemia and sickle cell disease also need transfusions. Additionally, making products such as clotting factors for people with Hemophilia also needs blood.
