Why Blood Donation Matters
Donating blood is a simple act of kindness that has a profound impact on our community's health and well-being.
The Need is Constant
Every day, patients in hospitals require blood for surgeries, cancer treatments, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. Your donation ensures a stable supply.
Save Multiple Lives
A single donation can be separated into its components—red cells, plasma, and platelets—and can help save up to three lives.
A Gift to Community
It’s a selfless act that strengthens community bonds and provides a vital resource that cannot be manufactured, only given.

X+Understanding Blood Groups
Your blood type is determined by antigens on the surface of your red blood cells. Knowing your type is crucial for safe transfusions.
- There are 4 main blood groups: A, B, AB, and O.
- Each group can be either RhD positive (+) or RhD negative (-).
- This means there are 8 common blood groups in total.
- Type O negative blood is known as the universal donor type.
A healthy diet helps ensure a successful blood donation. Check out the following recommended foods to eat prior to your donation.
