What are the benefits of blood donation to me?
Ans. Every time you donate a unit of blood at a blood bank, which is a member of the association of Voluntary Blood Banks, you will receive a certificate and a Blood Donation Card. This card can be used by you to get blood from the registered blood bank when you have a need. Also, every time you donate blood, screening tests are done on the blood for jaundice, hepatitis, AIDS etc. Hence, you are able to get screened for these communicable diseases free of charge. And, of course, most important of all, every time you donate blood you get the satisfaction of helping a fellow human being in his/her time of need. You will be donating a little of your blood to save someone’s life.
