World Blood Donor Day 2019: Important things to know before you donate blood
In India, a donor must be between 18-65 years old with a minimum weight of 45 kilograms and normal body temperature.
In India, the need for blood arises every two seconds – it may arise due to surgery, heavy injury, or to treat a life threatening disease which requires blood components. India is the second most populous country in the world and ironically, while there is a need for 4 crore units of blood annually, only 40 lakh units are available. This huge gap can be reduced by donating blood and spreading awareness about blood donation to increase the number of donors.
