Why is donating Blood
important?
Blood cannot be
manufactured. Despite
medical and technological
advances, blood cannot be
made, so donations are the
only way we can give blood to
those who need it.
A single donation can save three lives. One
blood donation provides different blood
components that can help up to three
different people.

-Because if you need blood one day, you would not
hesitate to take it, so why would you hesitate to give
it?
