We
often encounter the questions like
Why should one
donate blood? Is donating blood safe and good for health?
Donating
blood saves lives. One unit of blood can save up to 3 lives and it reduces the
risk of heart attacks and strokes. It is
not dangerous and it helps in blood renewal.
For whom is it
useful?
Thousands
of people need the blood transfusion; here are a few conditions where the blood
transfusion is required:
·
Patients
suffering from hemorrhage due to casualties
·
Surgical
procedures and labors
·
Malignancy
Thalassemia patients

Who can donate Blood?
People
who are healthy and are in the age group of 18 – 65 can donate blood.
At
JIC it has become a usual practice since 2011 to conduct blood donation
campaigns. We have always received an overwhelming response from the donors.
Each year from the time we conducted blood donation campaigns, we have exceeded the previous blood donation campaign records. The blood
donation campaign conducted on 18th Dec 2015 has surpassed all the
expectations. We collected 221 Units of blood and it is the highest in the history
of blood donation campaigns conducted by us so far. 
We
feel so proud that the donors in this special season of giving have gifted a
life to the needy. This kind act of human gives immense satisfaction and can be
sure to make a person smile and bless.
Don't Wait to
Donate: blood is always needed!!!
