WHY SHOULD WE BECOME
A BLOOD DONOR?
The only source of blood is human being.
Therefore, it is the social responsibility of the
person to come forward and voluntarily donate
blood.
In view of this, there is a risk of paid and
professional donor donating blood as
replacement/family donors.
. Thereby, increasing the risk of transmission of
diseases like AIDS, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C,
Syphilis, Malaria and many other diseases in the
society
Hence, a donor who donates blood regularly
every 3 months (for male) and 4 months (for
female) and tests negative for the above
disease, would become a source of safe blood
