Why to donate blood?
1. Blood donation is a unique donation.
2. Our body contains approximately 4.5 – 5 Liters of blood out of which only 300ml blood is withdrawn. Immediately after this our body produces new blood cells and thus the blood gets refreshed. Therefore donating blood helps in stimulating generation of new blood cells.
3. The Annual blood requirement of Mumbai city itself is about 2.5 – 3 Lakhs of bottles. Thus by donating blood we can share this load and serve humanity.
