Why Blood Donation is Important?

Blood being a vital element of the human body, giving it to restore the health of other humans, equals giving vitality. The gift of blood is justifiably the gift of life and so it is truly very precious. And when the prevailing circumstances raise the need for this vital element, endeavors to satisfy the need or make blood available becomes a call of the day.

In Maharashtra for instance, the annual need is as large as 7.5 lac units of blood. The incidence of road and rail accidents, the instances of Thalassemia, Anemia, Blood Cancer or even the instances of surgical procedures demand a reserve and sometimes a supply stock of blood.

Medical advancement is a continuous process with the help of which man has been able to defeat nature at times. 

However, in spite of this advancement man has not been able to find a suitable replacement for blood as there is no such thing as artificial blood. Donating blood is the only alternate to save a human life. 

However, with a constant rise in accidents and medical surgeries, there is a constant demand for the blood. 

Statistically speaking, Maharashtra alone requires more than 7.5 lakh bottles of blood each year.
