Bangalore Medical Services Trust &
Research Institute, Rotary TTK Blood Bank, Bangalore
Blood Donation Camp at
Date : Time: Venue:
450ml of blood can save as many as three lives. One out of every three of us will need blood in
our life time. Even with all of today’s technology, there is no
substitute for blood.
Someone has to give blood ◦ in order for someone to receive blood!
The process of donating specific blood components – red cells, plasma or platelets – is called apheresis. Specific Components are collected through safe, automated APHERESIS procedure which is similar to blood donation.
APHERESIS Platelets are used for treatment of Dengue & Cancer patients
In 2012, 1600 platelets were collected and issued at Rotary Bangalore TTK Blood Bank, a 465% increase over 2011!
Hospitals predict that the need for blood will increase 5% each year.
Approximately only 4% of the eligible population in India donates blood.
75% of donors donate only ONCE per year.
If they donate just two times per year there would never be any shortages!
A person has 5 - 6 litres of blood in their body.
A person can donate blood every 90 days (3 months).
Body recovers the Blood very quickly:◦ Blood plasma volume– within 24 - 48 hours◦ Red Blood Cells – in about 3 weeks ◦ Platelets & White Blood Cells – within minutes
◦
1 of out 10 hospital patients needs a blood transfusion
4.5 million Indians lives are saved by blood transfusions each year
Blood is always needed for, accident victims cancer patients blood disorder patients surgery patients Pre-mature, pre term babies and many others…….
