Blood transfusion plays a crucial role saving countless lives worldwide. Approximately 234 million major operations, 63 million trauma-induced surgeries, 31 million cancer-related procedures, and 10 million pregnancy-related complications require blood transfusions annually. In 2025, according to the e-Raktkosh, India requires an average of 14.6 million blood units annually, but our country faces a consistent shortfall of around 1 million units per year.
The beginning: The Gift of Life
The only source of blood available for transfusion is human donors, the real life heroes! Blood donation is a selfless act that can benefit up to three individuals per donation. Altruistic voluntary donations ensure a stable blood supply, enabling timely treatment for patients in need. It would be apt address these voluntary blood donors as the life line of all blood centres.
