Your precious donation of blood can save as many as 3 lives.

Blood consists of several components.
  • Cells - Red blood cells, White blood cells, Platelets.
  • Liquids - Plasma, Proteins
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.
