BLOOD DONORS – DONATING A SMALL PART OF YOU TO CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING LARGE TO SOMEONE.

Blood donors are people from whom blood is drawn and used for transfusions and/or made into biopharmaceutical medications by a process called fractionation (separation of whole-blood components).Though medical field has become very much advanced today, we still haven’t reached or achieved a technology where we can manufacture blood. Therefore it is very much essential for the country to have sufficient number of blood donors as they will be the only source of providing blood. When a person donates blood, he or she not just donates blood for one person because when one donates blood, the blood he or she donates will be useful for three different people at the same time as there are three different components in blood which can be used for three different people who will be in need of any one particular component. As the need for blood every day has become inevitable so has become the need for blood donors. Before donating blood, a series of tests are conducted in order to make sure if it safe for the donor to donate his or her blood. First the hemoglobin content of the donor’s blood is estimated to check if the donor has enough amount of hemoglobin content in his or her blood. If the hemoglobin content is not in the required level, then the donor would not be allowed to donate the blood. The blood received from the donor is also screened in various methods to make sure that the blood does not cause any harm to the recipient. The donor’s blood is screened to see whether the blood has any kind of medical related issues like diabetes or any such disorder. If the donor’s blood is found to be not healthy, then the blood will not be taken by the blood bank as it will be of no use as it might harm the recipient.

Today, there are a lot of blood donors who donate their blood on a regular basis at regular intervals. There a lot of donors who donate their blood as an act of charity while there are also other donors who even get paid for donating their blood. People should together create and spread awareness about the importance of donating blood and also the privilege in being a blood donor. By-Pujha Ramesh
