Many healthy individuals are qualified to donate blood, and many also need blood to survive and to have a continued better quality of life. Most of the time, both people from opposite sides of the spectrum do not meet. In times of crucial and urgent cases, the results can be tragic for the patient while the individual willing to donate is deprived of the opportunity to help. This scenario is especially true in places where blood banks are always in short supply of blood, and voluntary unpaid blood donations are poor. The opportunity to donate/receive blood is simply unavailable. This is where My Hema Circle comes in. It is a platform that allows willing people to enlist as potential blood donors and gives patients access to these generous individuals so that they can have blood supply at crucial points in their treatment. Please support the creation of this platform by considering giving a donation at https://lnkd.in/ghUTFGYX Your valuable contributions are a tremendous help to realize this vision. #blooddonation #thalassemia #sicklecell #accidents #rightToHealth

Ever wondered why there's a charge for blood that's donated freely? Let's clear the air! While the blood itself is a priceless gift from donors, the charge you pay is not for the blood. It covers the vital processes like testing, processing, storage, and distribution to ensure the blood is safe and compatible. These steps are crucial for maintaining high-quality standards in blood transfusion services. Remember, every time you cover these costs, you're contributing to a system that saves lives daily. 🚨 Call to Action: To make a difference right from your phone, download the 'Blood On Wheels' app today! Stay informed, donate, or receive life-saving blood to the hospital directly. #BloodDonation #SaveLives #HealthcareHeroes #BloodSafety #DonateBlood #BloodTransfusion #BloodOnWheels #NBTC #LifeSaver #MakeADifference #BloodOnWheels

"Sir, your ****( close relative) was given a platelet transfusion yesterday, we need 2-3 people to donate blood by 5 PM today at the hospital." I got this phone call from a reputed hospital today morning. I was curious on its business model and did some research post the donation. Its a HUGE 3-4 billion dollar industry pertaining to 2.5-3% of total export volume in the United States. Its a necessary thing and a very profitable too since the direct cost of raw material ( the blood) is ZERO for voluntary donations. And it is always short in supply. Profit is not bad, but it has a very dark side too as you dig more and more , especially in smaller blood centres called professional donors. People with low income are targeted and are dependent on it and donate more than 100 times a year( 25x the normal allowed volume) for small amounts, which is a big risk to their health and also to the health of the recipients'. The best blood is volunteered blood , so make sure to donate blood voluntarily to good banks, coz you don't know when you may need it next. And when you do need it, pray to god (and ask the doctor) that you get a volunteered blood, not blood by a professional donor. As a last note, the hospital may earn money from your blood, but the good will come back to you some day for sure. #bloodbank #blooddonation
