SAVE LIFE…
DAY: SUNDAY
As you read this, a patient may be critically ill. Whether he lives or dies may depend on whether a unit of
blood of the right type is available or not. Children with leukemia, adults who need heart surgery, burn
victims, road traffic accident victims and hemophiliacs – all these people literally owe their life to the
generosity of someone special – A BLOOD DONOR!
How long will the blood donations take and what is the procedure?
On an average, the donation takes only about 5-8 minutes and the entire process lasts less than 25-30
minutes, from registration to resting time. The minutes you spend giving blood may mean life to a patient
in need. It will be well spent!
Process:
• Registration
• Medical Screening
• Blood Donation
• Light refreshments will be served after the donation. You should rest for about 10-15 minutes
before leaving.
