Every second counts when it comes to saving lives. Across the world, thousands of patients depend on donated blood every day. Whether it is a road accident victim, a patient undergoing surgery, a child fighting cancer, or a mother suffering complications during childbirth, blood donation becomes a vital lifeline. At Jeevan Rekha Hospital’s Blood Donation Center, we believe in the power of giving, and we encourage individuals to come forward and donate this invaluable resource.
Why Blood Donation Matters
-
A single donation can save three lives. Plasma, platelets, and red cells can be separated and used for different patients.
-
Blood cannot be manufactured. Unlike medicines, blood cannot be created in laboratories—it can only come from voluntary donors.
-
Short shelf life. Platelets last only 5–7 days, which means regular donations are crucial.
Who Needs Blood Donations?
-
Accident victims – Severe blood loss due to injuries.
-
Cancer patients – Chemotherapy often reduces blood counts.
-
Surgical patients – Major operations require blood support.
-
Children with anemia or thalassemia – Require regular transfusions.
-
Mothers during childbirth – Complications can lead to heavy blood loss.
Global & National Statistics
-
In India, around 12 million units of blood are required annually, but donations often fall short.
