Donating blood is a courageous and life-saving act. A healthy person has 16-18 glasses of blood. Thus, donating 250-450cc (approximately one glass) will not do harm to an individual. The whole process only takes about 30 minutes.

In the advent of HIV and other highly contagious diseases, the blood donor now a days is more concern on the process of blood collection. As such, the medical personnel task to do the job see to it that they use quality medical supplies, specifically the blood collection devices such as lancets, pipettes and needles. These devices should all be new and disposable to prevent infection.

Be a blood donor and be counted as life-saver.
