Blood donation in saving lives

Having worked with Quantum Lab, one of the pioneers in blood transfusion, as a volunteer and being a regular blood donor, I have had some practical experience about how important blood donation is in saving lives. I have also seen how terrible and bitter situations people have to face when managing blood for their near and dear ones. That's why voluntary blood donation is so important. Every religion tells us to do good work for humanity. What could be better than donating blood? This is also beneficial to one's health.
Donating blood with intervals of four months rejuvenates our blood cells. Regular donors, in most of the cases avoid, to some extent, the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. It is really heartening to see that many private organisations such as Red Crescent, Sondhani, Quantum Lab, Badhon, etc., have come forward with blood donation programmes. We need to donate blood spontaneously as well as make people aware about the benefits of blood donation.
