Voluntary Blood Donation

Voluntary blood donation is when individuals willingly donate their blood without expecting payment, primarily to help others in need, such as those undergoing surgery, trauma care, or suffering from certain illnesses. The process involves a safe, painless procedure typically taking about 10-15 minutes, during which about a pint of blood is collected. Donors are carefully screened to ensure safety for both them and recipients. This altruistic act plays a vital role in maintaining an adequate and safe blood supply within communities, saving countless lives and promoting public health.
