Blood is needed by so many people
No major surgery is performed without blood as there is bound to be blood loss. On an average,
for every open heart surgery about 6 units of blood are required per head. Pre and post
delivery, a mother may need large volumes of blood for saving her own life and the child's.
Patients with blood diseases like severe Anaemias especially Aplastic Anaemias,
Leucaemias (blood cancer), Haemophilia (bleeding disorder), Thalassemia can survive
only through regular transfusions.
In many cases like poisoning, drug reactions, and conditions of shock, burns and many other
situations, blood transfusion is the only way to save precious human life.
There is no SUBSTITUTE FOR BLOOD! Despite all medical advances, we have found no way of
duplicating it.
Except in our own bodies.
