Blood Donor Camps

Karwan-e-Khair arrange several Blood Donor Camps. 

Blood Donors are unsung heroes who make a huge contribution in saving someone’s life. For people who may have a friend or a family member in need, the blood available for transfusion is truly precious.

A man who rolls his sleeve to give blood to help another life, no badge of service does he wear, he lives a “HERO” unaware.

According to experts, it is estimated that in Pakistan 1.5 million units of blood every year are required to replace blood loss for trauma victims as well as treatment of blood related diseases.

Some facts regarding blood donation are however, important to understand.

What is Safe Blood?

Blood that does not contain any viruses, parasites, drugs, alcohol, chemical substances or other extraneous factors that may cause harm to the recipient.

Are there any risks in giving blood?

Donating blood is completely safe. On the contrary, it has already been scientifically established that regular blood donation reduces chances of heart attacks.

How often can blood be donated?

Once every 3 months.

How long does it take for the donor’s body to replenish the blood donated?

The donor’s body replenishes the fluid lost from donation in 24 to 48 hours. However, the reproductions of red blood cells are subject to each individual’s health.

Who can donate blood?

A person wanting to donate blood must be in good health, between 18-60 years of age, weight at least 50 kgs and have minimum hemoglobin level of 12g% for females and 12.5g% for males. All donors must pass the physical examination prior to donation.

 

Who should not donate blood?

In order to save or help needy lives, it is very important that the blood donor answer questions for donor selection honestly.

Reasons for ineligibility are:

• Persons who have used illegal intravenous drugs

• Persons who have received clotting factor concentrates

• Persons with a positive antibody test for HIV, Hepatitis ‘B’ or ‘C’

• Persons at risk of diseases due to unprotected sex 

It would be a generous act to come forward to offer the gift of life to those in need and encourage others to do the same. This precious gift is a small contribution for a person to make, but is truly a selfless act as most people do not realize the importance of blood until their friend or loved ones need it.

Let’s make sure we have an adequate supply of blood available for all who need it. Please take a few moments of your time and give the “GIFT OF LIFE” to your society.
