Donate blood, Save lives!
Why is blood required?
Many lifesaving medical treatments require blood transfusions. What and how many blood products are given to a patient will depend on his or her individual needs. Some of the patients in need of blood transfusion :
- Victims of traumatic injuries and accidents
- Leukemia patients
- Burn patients
- Those receiving organ or bone marrow transplants
- Premature babies
- Cancer patients
- Patients undergoing certain surgeries
Here's what you do for donating blood:
- Have a good meal and lot of fluids before you donate blood.
- You will be asked a few questions about your health, previous blood donation history (if any) and will be given a form to fill up.
- All information you provide is confidential and will not be made available to any agency or authority.
- You will undergo a medical examination including height, weight, blood pressure and haemoglobin to ensure that you are healthy enough to donate blood.
- Donor safety is as important as blood safety. If found fit, you can donate blood.
- You will not develop any disease through blood donation.
- It takes about 10 minutes to donate blood.
Eligibility for blood donation:
- Age - 18 to 60 years
- Weight - above 45 kgs
- Haemoglobin - above 12.5g (we will be checking this at the time of donation)
- No malaria, jaundice or typhoid or any major surgery in the last 12 months
- No medication 72 hrs prior to donation. Those on medication for diabetes or hypertension cannot donate
- A proper breakfast/lunch before donation
