Safe blood, blood products and blood transfusion are a critical aspect of public care and
health. Blood transfusion saves millions of lives and improves the quality of life for so
many people every day. The need for blood is universal, but access to blood for all those
who need it is not.
Blood shortages are particularly crucial in developing countries. Nothing compares to the
preciousness of human blood. In spite of the rapid and remarkable conquests of medical
science today, there is no laboratory that manufactures blood. Science is known to create
miracles every day but yet, it has not been able to create any artificial substitute to
human blood and thus, transfusions solely depend on blood donations for its survival through
dire and near-death times.
DBBC believes that blood is a gift of life; it cannot be manufactured but
comes from generous donors alone. We thus motivate and promote non- remunerated voluntary
blood donation to ensure safe, sufficient and secure availability of this commodity for the
society and mankind as a whole.
All you need is to read, write, hear and speak English and/or Hindi and/or Marathi across a
diverse section of population that you meet via the blood bank. You need to follow all COVID
protocols and practise compassion, communication, collaboration and competence to your best
potential.
Blood banks like ours are always working in the best interest of our community, but it is
also the responsibility of the community to keep the blood banks full at all times. Given
the limited shelf time of blood and blood components, supply of fresh blood units is the
need of time. Let the right blood be waiting for a needy patient and let it not be the
patient who is waiting for the blood.
There is always a persistent need of blood during surgeries, child birth, road accidents, in anaemia and other emergency requirements. Blood is needed on a regular basis for people suffering from blood disorders such as thalassemia and haemophilia. We at Jankalyan Blood Centre, encourage and motivate people especially the youth to come forward voluntarily and donate blood. We can be assured of safe blood only when it is donated by a healthy individual out of his or her own will.
No one has ever become poor by giving. Blood is the only thing that costs you nothing but is priceless to someone else. Why not give to people from what God has provided you abundantly with. Your 15 minutes can save someone's entire life. The blood you donate gives someone another chance at life. One day that someone may be a close relative, a friend, a loved one—or even you. Saving lives sounds like a difficult task but all you have to do is donate blood. And, with that, you don't save just one life, you save the entire mankind
