DAPCU Imphal East: Voluntary Blood Donation

Significance of Voluntary Blood Donation:

Blood since time immemorial was regarded as a mysterious fluid which is the embodiment of  life.  Science tells us now that the human body contain 4 to 6 litres of blood in adult depending upon the size. Almost all serious health issues use blood donated by people like you and me to save lives. Blood that is donated last a little more than 40 days. Then it must be disposed of. That means we need to constantly replenish the blood so it is there when someone needs it.
Holidays are usually when blood is in short supply. Maybe next holiday season that could be your gift to a needy person. Your blood could save a baby, a child, a mother, a father, a grandfather, a grandmother. They cannot make blood, it is a gift we all have inside of us to give to those who are injured, sick, or in need.
Those are the best reasons to donate blood. Not everyone can save a life. But we have an opportunity to.
