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.
