Blood Donation
What is Blood Donation?

Blood donation is a process when a person voluntarily donates blood, to be used for transfusion or for other medical practices.

Donating blood is a safe process. A sterile needle is used only once for each donor and then discarded.
The actual blood donation typically takes less than 10-12 minutes. The entire process, from the time you arrive to the time you leave, takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
The average adult has about 10 units of blood in his body. Roughly 1 unit is given during a donation.
All donated blood is tested for HIV, Hepatitis B and C, syphilis and other infectious diseases before it can be transfused to patients.
