It isn't every day you can do something to save someone's life - but that's exactly what you do every time you donate blood. Blood is a priceless gift - a lifesaver. It needs no over – emphasis that thousands die in our country every day for want of blood. Even the best trained medical personnel, using the most advanced equipment can become helpless in the event a patient needs blood. The gift of blood can only come from another human being ...there are no substitutes. The need for blood is constant.  The blood components are required:

• To treat accident and burns victims
• To treat shock
• For cancer patients
• For those undergoing surgery
• To provide clotting factors for people with bleeding disorders, including haemophilia
• To provide antibody treatment for people with disorders of the immune system.

Regular blood donors ensure that a safe and plentiful supply of blood is available whenever and wherever it is needed. Voluntary Blood Donors are considered

Blood is indeed something special. It can't be manufactured and it can't be replaced by animal blood. Yet statistics show that less than 1% of all possible donors in India actually roll their sleeves up and donate blood, while at the same time over 80% of us may need a blood product in our lifetime.

Be one of those who make a real difference and donate blood every 3 months.

Giving blood doesn't just benefit recipients. Regardless of who you are, donating blood offers many benefits for donors. It lets you:

• Help save the life of up to 3 people with a single donation of blood
• Make a difference in your community by helping others
• Be assured that adequate supplies of blood are available for you, as well as your family and others

Join a very special group of life savers.
