Why should we donate blood?<br/>
There are a huge number of people who need blood at any given time and the reasons may vary.
People might need blood because:<br/>
a. The recipient may have been in a road accident, natural disaster, childbirth and lost huge
amount of blood in these situations.<br/>
b. A patient under surgery may need blood in case of sudden loss of blood or any medical
complication.<br/>
c. In case of certain liver ailments like Hepatitis C where there is destruction and
regeneration of liver, platelet transfusion may be required.<br/>
d. In a severe case of anemia, patient may require blood transfusion.<br/>

chemotherapy medicines and the disease itself can sometimes interfere with normal
production of blood cells in the bone marrow.<br/>

<li> Thalassemia is a genetic disease, where the patient's body generates less healthy
hemoglobin and red blood cells, which puts pressure on the bone marrow and spleen. Patients,

<li> Hemophilia is a rare disorder where a patient’s blood doesn't clot in normal way. It is an
inherited disease and can be treated by replacement therapy where concentration of clotting
<br/>
<br/>
factor VIII (for hemophilia A) or clotting factor IX (for hemophilia B) are slowly dripped or
injected into a vein. Clotting factor concentration can be made of blood though in this case
concentration which are not made from blood are also available.</li> <br/>
<li>There are several other diseases and cases where patients may require blood transfusion

<b>Why can't the parents, siblings, children and immediate family donate blood when required?
Why is my donation required?</b><br/>
When parents, siblings, children, family donate blood it is known as direct donation. This may
not be possible/advisable due to a few reasons.
<br/>
<li>The blood group may not match. It is possible even in the case of family that the blood group
may not match.</li><br/>
<li>The donations made by family may not be enough for the patient’s needs because a donor can
only donate 1 pint.</li><br/>
<li>Though people may find it safer to have a family member as donor, but research doesn't
support this theory. A few reasons for this are that donors known to the patient may be
hesitant to reveal information about their personal or medical history. Also, there may be more
chances of infection for a first-time donor than a regular donor.</li><br/>
<li>Previously pregnant women can become sensitized against red cell antigens from their
children’s father(s), causing adverse reactions in the transfusion recipient.</li><br/>
<li>Also even if the family members are compatible it takes some time to test the collected blood
to ensure that it is safe for transfusion.</li><br/>
<li>Women of childbearing age should not be recipients of blood donated by their children,
husband or husband’s blood relatives as this could adversely affect future pregnancies should
red cell antibodies form.</li><br/>
<li>Being a regular donor helps you to be available when someone needs your help and helps you to
be healthy as you regularly undergo medical checkups.</li><br/>
<b>Blood supply improves, but India still faces a shortfall of 10 per cent</b><br/>
Data shows that 16 States (including Union Territories) faced a shortage while 18 States had sufficient
or excess amount of blood units.<br/>
India faced a 10 per cent shortage in its estimated blood requirement in 2015-16, an improvement from
the 17 per cent shortfall reported in 2013-14 (as per Govt. records). The estimated requirement is
around 1.2 crore units per annum.,<br/>
In 2015-16, blood collection through various sources, including blood donation camps, was 1.1 crore
units — a shortage of 11.5 lakh units, according to data released by the Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare. The availability of blood is also sharply skewed. While Delhi had a surplus of 233 per cent in
available blood units, Bihar faced 85 per cent shortage — the State had just 1.6 lakh units available
against a demand of 10.3 lakh units per annum — the Ministry said in response to a question in
Parliament.<br/>
However, the availability of blood units had improved from 2013-14 when a shortage of 17 per cent was
recorded. The shortage was 21 lakh units in 2013-14.<br/>
Sikkim, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Uttaranchal and West Bengal moved from a deficit in 2013-14 to a
surplus in 2015-16. For instance, Sikkim had a 19 per cent shortage in 2013-14. However, in 2015-16,
blood unit availability improved by around 22 percentage points, with a surplus of 2.6 per cent.
Among the large States, Maharashtra (46 per cent), Punjab (39 per cent) and Kerala (35 per cent) had the
highest proportion of excess blood units.<br/>
At the other extreme, in addition to Bihar, four other States — Chhattisgarh, Arunachal Pradesh, Uttar
Pradesh and Meghalaya — had a shortage of greater than 50 per cent. Jammu and Kashmir reduced its
blood deficit by 53 percentage points — the highest among large States — down from 85 per cent
shortage in 2013-14 to 32 per cent in 2015-16.<br/>
In response to a Parliament question earlier this year, the Health Ministry noted there was no shortage
of blood banks in India. As of February 2015, there were 2,708 — 1024 public and 1684 private — blood
banks in the country. However, 81 districts spread across 17 States did not have a blood bank.
Many of these districts are new and recently created.<br/>
Under the National Health Mission, for 2015-16, proposals were received from Madhya Pradesh and
Assam, requesting support for 11 new blood banks, for which approval had been accorded.
“Under the National AIDS Control Programme-IV, the government is strengthening the programme
for blood transfusion services with efforts directed towards the promotion of voluntary, non-
remunerative blood donation in partnership with NGOs and voluntary organizations,” the Ministry
said.<br/>
Beware! when you donate blood to any private hospital / clinic they don’t pay you in return, instead
some provide complimentary snacks as a social gesture, but do you know that some hospitals sell your
donated blood unit as high as Rs. 8,000 to 15,000 taking advantage of the situation. Donate blood to the
needy ones. You can join us to know if there is any blood requirement in your vicinity.
