Why donating blood saves lives

Every two seconds, someone in the world needs blood. A single donation can save up to three lives because your donation is separated into red cells, plasma, and platelets.

Who can donate

• Age between 18 and 60
• Weight above 50 kg
• Healthy, no recent illness
• At least 3 months since the last donation

Before you donate

1. Eat a healthy meal and drink plenty of water.
2. Bring a valid ID.
3. Get a good night's sleep.

After donating

Rest for a few minutes, avoid heavy lifting for 24 hours, and keep hydrated. You will feel back to normal in no time — and someone, somewhere, gets another chance at life because of you.
