Donate Blood &Give life back.

It was in the early December I accidentally came across a blood donation camp organized by Indian Red Cross society in my workstation. The Red Cross volunteers invited all of us .A sudden instinct motivated me to donate blood even then with a lot of hesitation I went to the volunteers and got into the procedures .I think it took around 15 minutes to get the blood pinned out .

THE DONATION HANGOVER!

I realized something inside me is triggering the happiness conscious and I have a   smile on my face. A sense    of satisfaction that,  I am giving life to someone in the battle of life and death.

It was strange that a team 85 people connected with my office on the given day no one turned to donate blood except me but I found their respect to me has a bit increased and they offered me an extra bit of quality food and even asked me to leave office if I need to rest a while. I got a heroic consideration in the office and it boosted me the feeling a kind of sense of achievement.

But I did my work till the closing time with the same smile. And here the greatest day ends.

WHY WE SHOULD DONATE BLOOD



The data will open your eyes wide open and the magical hangover of giving life to someone else   will make you proud

According to the Transport Research Wing of India

1,50,785 people were killed, 4,94,624 were injured in road crashes in India in 2016.

The number also translates to 413 fatalities every day and 17 deaths every hour due to road crashes.  And lack of blood availability causes most of the death is a bitter fact.

India today faces a shortage of 10% relative to its blood requirements. In absolute terms, this means that we require covering a shortfall of over 12 lakh units.

And 60 million trauma induced surgeries    are   performed in India every ear

The 230 million major operations

331 million cancer-related procedures

10 million pregnancy complications And all these medical emergencies require blood transfusion in large quantities of blood daily.

So don’t you think to donate blood the need of the hour and your personal responsibility?

The night, of course, I was little dizzy and went to sleep early but mid-off night I woke up with strange questions, though more than 80 people appreciated me why didn't no one come forward to donate blood. It bothered me a little, it really. Pushed me to talk and inspire all of them to do the act of Donating life (blood) Inspired not by word alone but by knowledge. There I started googling everything about, What   happens in our body when we donate blood.

I was amazed to learn such vast benefits of Donating Blood Around 3 am in the morning to 7 am .And  here I jot down all the amazing facts I learned about giving life to one who battles against death.

And the morning 10 Am it was my session of training and I  took my notepad with me and started a great session on blood donation though I was supposed to teach about a different subject  I  took it as a positive  jester from my side to humanity

And the greatest outcome of the session was many of them promised to start it in their life.
