Donate blood and save life
Monday, 1 June 2015
Everyday hundreds of patients are in need of blood particularly after surgery. But compared to the need, the number of voluntary blood donors is very limited in our country. Every healthy citizen between the age of 18-60 can donate blood safely after every four months. Many people are not aware that donating blood is in fact good for health apart from doing a great service to humanity. One must remember that a certified doctor always examines the health of a donor and only when the doctor is satisfied that the donor is physically fit to donate blood, he/she is allowed to do so.
Blood donated by someone can save a precious life and bring smile on hundreds of faces. If we come forward to help others our world will be a much better place to live in. I am a regular blood donor and I also encourage my friends and family to donate blood. Let us make a pledge that we shall donate blood fearlessly and save fellow human beings from their distress as far as possible.
