Importance of Blood Donation

Hello, my name is Raimonda and I am a student of Applied languages at Marijampole College, which is in Lithuania. Today I will talk about the importance of blood donation.

The title of topic is "Importance of Blood Donation". I borrowed this topic from importantindia.com

I chose this topic because blood donation is important for me and each person who need other donors blood. You may ask why for me? Its because I donate blood each time after two months and I am doing it free of charge. I think for many people this campaign is the last hope to get a second chance to live and that is why I want to tell a little bit more what is all about.

Blood donation is one of the most significant contribution that a person can make towards the society. It is not harmful for an adult person to donate blood. The body of the donor can regenerate the blood within few days. It poses no threat to the metabolism of the body.

An ailing body needs blood for various reasons. He may be attacked with anemia, undergone an operation or may meet with an accident. But such a patient may die for want of blood as it is not always available. Even a pregnant mother may need blood in case of emergency situation.

The patient needs blood or his or her group of blood whenever necessary. It is another important thing. Blood has four groups namely, A. B, AB and O. The required group must be the same while transplanting otherwise the transplantation will go in vain and even the patient may die. The man with the O-group blood is called the universal donor as the people having others can accept it. On the contrary, the man with AB group of blood is called the universal receiver as he can accept all groups of blood.

Blood can be stored for a limited period of time that is why the blood banks need a steady and constant collection.

Nowadays a public awareness is noticed to donate blood. Many clubs, colleges, societies, offices, etc. organize blood donation camps on different occasions. It is a healthy gesture. We must keep this aptitude up at any cost. Our blood banks are running short of required blood. By organizing such blood donation camps we may help them to enrich their capacity.

However, it is very important that while taking blood from a certain person the concerned authority must make sure the blood is not infected.

Summing up, blood donation is our human duty. Our body does not get affected if we donate blood. The body can repair the loss within a few days. So we must come forward to donate blood as it can make sure the return of a dying man again into the light of life. Blood donation is other people hope to get the second chance to live.

Thank you.
