Voluntary blood donors are the backbone of every healthcare system. They are the unsung heroes who ensure that hospitals and patients in need have access to a safe and sufficient supply of blood and its vital components. In India, the demand for blood is massive — approximately 26.2 million units are required every year. However, the supply falls drastically short, with a staggering 13 million unit deficit annually. This critical gap is largely due to a lack of awareness and misconceptions about blood donation.
Why Blood Donation Matters More Than Ever
Every few seconds, someone somewhere needs blood — be it a road accident victim, a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy, a child with anemia, or a woman facing complications during childbirth. Blood cannot be manufactured; it can only come from donors. One unit of donated blood can save up to three lives through component therapy – separating whole blood into red cells, plasma, and platelets.
LiveChennai`s Initiative for a Healthier Tomorrow
Understanding the urgent need for regular blood supply, LiveChennai has launched a dedicated initiative to support blood donation awareness and access across the city. This project aims to connect voluntary donors with hospitals and patients through an organized system, promoting regular donation drives, education campaigns, and a reliable donor database.
