The theme for this year is \u201csafe blood save lives\u201d with the slogan \u201cGive blood and make the world a healthier place.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know one unit of donated blood can save up to three lives[1]? This is because your blood is separated into its components (red blood cells, plasma, and platelet). Moreover, blood is needed on a regular basis for people suffering from blood disorders such as thalassemia and hemophilia, and also for the treatment of injuries after an accident, major surgeries, anemia, etc. Wondering if you are eligible for donating blood? Here is what you need to know before you plan for blood donation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why Should You Donate Blood?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood donation not only saves lives but also has key benefits that we are unaware of.\u00a0 It balances the level of iron in the body, regulates blood flow, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, triggers production of new blood cells and helps in weight loss. Moreover,\u00a0 donating blood had a positive effect on a donor\u2019s physical and psychological well-being as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are planning to donate blood, then firstly get yourself registered. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A person can donate blood either in a licensed blood bank, blood donation camps or at a blood mobile.
