Safe blood for all
The blood donation is beneficial for both the recipient and the donor. After the blood donation the body works to replenish the blood loss and stimulates the production of new blood cells and helps in maintaining good health.
The person who donates his blood must be a hero, and we encourage every health and able person to do the same.
The advantages of blood donation includes
It reduces the extra iron level in our body
Identifies adverse health effects during screening tests and physical examination
Helps people feel good about themselves
Burns Calories
