Why Donate Blood?

Blood is the part of life that is given to those who need it by
those who have the resource to satisfy the need. The love of fellow human and a desire to share something of oneself is what singles out a blood donor from the others. Emergencies occur every minute. For each patient requiring  blood, it is an emergency and the patients could have set back if blood is not available.

Your blood donation may be even more special than you realize

A single donation from you can help one or more patients. This is possible because whole blood is made up of several useful components. These components perform special functions in your body and in the body of patients who receive your blood. The various blood components are Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Plasma and selected Plasma Proteins. Each of these components can be separated from your donated volume of blood and transfused into a specific patient requiring that particular component. Thus, many can benefit from one unit of blood.

Blood is needed every minute

• To replace blood lost because of accidents or diseases.
• To treat shock due to injury.
• For Major & Minor surgeries including open heart surgeries, transplants etc.
• For burn victims.
• For patients suffering from Anemia.
• During child birth for the mother.
• For exchange transfusion for new born infants.
• To make blood derivatives which are used to treat medical problems.
• For children suffering from ailments like Thalassaemia, Hemophilia (bleeding disorders) , Leukemia, Blood Cancer.

 

The gift of Life

Why donate eyes?

To begin with for a selfish reason; our eyes can live even after our death. Secondly, more importantly, we can light the life of two blind people by donating our eyes after our death. Thirdly, not to mention, eye donation is the noblest of all causes.

Over 90 percent of all cornea transplant operations performed each year successfully restores vision to people suffering from corneal blindness. Donated human eyes and corneal tissue are also used for research and education. How do research and education help the cause, you may ask. This is a very important aspect of the eye donation movement. More than 35,000 eyes are used annually for research and education.

Research into glaucoma, retinal disease, complications of diabetes and other sight disorders benefit from donations because many eye problems cannot be simulated and only human eyes can be used. These studies advance the discovery of the causes and effects of specific eye conditions and lead to new treatments and cures.
Other than these, there are a few more compelling reasons why you need to donate your eyes and these include:

1. 1.5% of the population are unnecessarily blind

2. 25% live below the poverty line

3. 2.5 million children are suffering, including those who don't have the correct spectacles

4. 32% are under 15

5. 60% of blind children will not make it to adulthood. A cumulative economic loss to India's GNP of US$11.1 billion

6. 75% live in rural areas

7. There are 12,000 ophthalmologists in the country but the majorities of them live and work in the urban areas

8. 40% live in rural areas in central & northern India where there is little access to quality eye care services.
