This day (14 June) every year is observed as World Blood Donor Day. In addition to raising awareness for the need for safe blood and blood products (like red blood cells, platelets or blood plasma), it is also used as an opportunity to thank blood donors for their life-saving (and changing) gift to others. If you’re thinking of donating blood today, here are the bits you need to know…<\/p>\n

You need to be 17 years or above to donate blood and weigh a minimum of 50\u00a0kgs<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

The most common form of donation is the whole blood donation wherein 470 ml of blood is taken. The donation time takes around eight to ten minutes, though the entire process is\u00a0around an hour long<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
