14. Moral of the story???

15. There is no moral..
BUT There’s a Question..

16. WhatWill ItTake UsTo Realize that??

17. One pint of blood can save upto 3 lives..

18. How much are you willing to share??

19. Your blood could save a baby, a child, a mother, a father, a grandfather or a grandmother.
It is a gift we all have inside of us to give to those who are injured, sick, or in need. Those are
the best reasons to donate blood.
Not everyone can save a life. But you have an opportunity to. Don't waste it.

20. Who can donate the blood?
Donor should be between 18-55 years of age with a weight of 50 kg
or above with pulse rate, body temperature and blood pressure
should be normal.
Both men and women can donate.
There are only few conditions in which donors are permanently
excluded. The donor with history of epilepsy, psychotic disorders,
abnormal bleeding tendencies, severe asthma, cardiovascular
disorders, malignancy are permanently unfit for blood donation.

21. Who can donate the blood?
Donors suffering from disease like hepatitis, malaria, measles,
mumps, and syphilis may donate blood after full recovery with 3-6
months gap. Also people who have undergone surgery, blood
transfusion may safely donate blood after 6-12 months for woman
donors who are pregnant or lactating blood is not taken as their iron
reserves are already on the lower side.

22. How much blood can be taken?
Our body has 5.5 litre of blood of which only 350 ml - 450 ml of blood is
taken depending upon weight of donor. Majority of healthy adults can
tolerate withdrawal of one unit of blood. The withdrawn blood volume is
restored within 24 hours and the hemoglobin and cell components are
restored in 2 months. Therefore it is safe to donate blood every three
months.

23. Blood Group Compatibility
Recipients can receive plasma of the same blood group, but otherwise the donor-recipient
compatibility for blood plasma is the converse of that of RBCs:plasma extracted from typeAB
blood can be transfused to individuals of any blood group; individuals of blood group O can
receive plasma from any blood group; and type O plasma can be used only by type O recipients.

24. Modern Blood Transfusion:
Modern blood transfusion basically deals with the optimal use of one
unit of blood. One unit of whole blood is separated into components
making it available to different patients according to their
requirement. Thus one unit of blood is converted into packed cell
volume, fresh frozen plasma, platelet concentrate, cryoprecipitate
and granulocytes concentrate before being transfused.
