Blood is one of the essential fluids in our body, which helps the body to function smoothly. Blood Donation is an act of donating healthy blood to needy people. Due to excessive loss of blood, a person may die. Therefore, we can say that blood donation is an act of saving lives.
14th June is celebrated all over the globe as Blood Donor Day, where people all over the world, engage in spreading about this life-saving act. Many blood donation camps are held on that day, and millions of people across the globe actively participate in the program
There are blood banks where people can store their blood, and during any medical emergency, that stored blood comes into play. People who have rare blood groups are suggested to store their blood in blood banks for their future use. The requirement for blood is always higher than compared to the supply, and people should be encouraged more so that they willingly donate blood and save lives.
Nowadays, many public awareness programs and blood donation camps are held in many colleges, clubs etc. to update the blood stock in the blood banks. There is always a shortage in the supply of blood, and we need to make sure that the blood supply never runs out.
