Why Do Blood Donation:
Emergencies occur every minute.
Your blood donation may be even more special than you realize. A single donation from you can help one or more patients. This is possible because whole blood is made up of several useful components. These components perform special functions in your body and in the body of patients who receive your blood. The various blood components are Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Plasma and selected Plasma Proteins. Each of these components are separated from your donated volume of blood and transfused into a specific patient requiring that particular component. Thus, many are benefited from one unit of blood.
