Blood donation occurs when a person voluntarily has blood drawn and used for transfusions.

Donating blood should become a habit for the mass as blood can save life. Some time, we come across many patients who pass away due to insufficient blood in the hospitals or the Blood Bank but the regular initiatives of the people may save the life.

It is to be mentioned here that several people need blood when they meet any accident or their body require more blood after the body losses blood in injury or diseases. Therefore, on that situation people require blood which becomes possible with the donated blood.
