Blood donation is one of the most powerful ways to save lives. Every two seconds, someone in the world needs blood for surgery, cancer treatment, or emergency care. A single donation from you can help save up to three different people. Today, we'll explore why voluntary blood donation is so crucial and what happens to your body when you donate.
Blood is truly irreplaceable. Unlike many medical treatments, blood cannot be manufactured in a laboratory. It can only come from generous volunteers like you. Hospitals need blood constantly for emergency surgeries, cancer treatments, and helping patients with chronic diseases. Yet only about 3 percent of eligible people actually donate blood. Voluntary donation is the safest source because donors are carefully screened and motivated by altruism, not payment.
