OUR VISION
World blood donor day was celebrated on June 14th 2016. The world blood donor day which fell on 14th June 2016 was celebrated in grand level at BMICH. 1500 voluntary blood donors and campaign organizers were felicitated there.100% of our donors are voluntory, non remunerated donors. Recently NBTS Sri Lanka proudly anounced that we have 100% voluntory blood donor base. Achievement of this figure is only a dream to all developing countries and most of the developped countries. We as Sri Lankan can be proud of this acheivement just because of your dedication.Your precious donation of blood can save as many as 3 lives. Blood consists of several components.
A donated whole blood unit is usually separated into components before given to a patient. These separate components are given to different patients with different needs. So one donated whole blood unit can save as many as 3 lives.
You can donate blood in every 4 months. Blood is the only organ that can be donated without having any permanent loss. This is because the donated blood will be recovered completely in maximum 4 months time.
