Because you can make a difference! The human body is the only manufacturer of blood. Therefore, you can help save the life of a patient requiring blood. There is no substitute, and still, there’s only one source of blood for transfusion, which is Voluntary Blood Donation. Emergency happens at all hours of the day or night such as: Motor accidents, women with complicated pregnancy or child birth disasters or emergency situations, surgical operations, trauma victims, cancer, dialysis, people with sickle cell disease, industrial accident and other blood disorders Gastrointestinal bleeding due to blood loss. You can play a great role in saving these lives, by donating just a single unit of blood.
NO! Blood is priceless and essential for life. It is a natural gift, which can't be manufactured by any machine. Which means blood is not for sale. You will rather be given something to drink and eat after giving blood. As a regular donor, if your children, wife or parent requires transfusion, a fee is wave off. However, the greatest payment you can have is knowing that you have helped in saving a fellow human being's life.
