With such wide varieties of benefits from blood donation, all of us should actively donate blood. However, many people are often concerned about the safety of blood donation. Donating blood is a completely safe procedure. New disposable equipment is used for every donor, mitigating the risk of contracting any bloodborne infection. Within almost 24 hours of donating blood, our body begins replacing the lost fluid. The lost red cells are replaced within a few weeks, and you are ready to donate again, saving yet another life.
