Why should I donate blood?
Blood is a precious gift that can save lives. When you donate, your blood is separated into red cells, platelets, and plasma so each part can help a different patient.
Blood transfusion is needed for:
- Women with complications of pregnancy and childbirth.
- Children with severe anemia resulting from malaria or malnutrition.
- People with severe trauma from accidents or disasters.
- Patients undergoing surgeries, cancer treatment, or organ transplants.

O−

AB+

A+

B+
