The Simple and Rewarding Donation process

Blood Donation is a quick and satisfying process that usually lasts around an hour. A quick medical check-up will determine the eligibility before a little blood sample is taken for analysis. This process is essential for ensuring  blood donation safety. Once sample is accepted, the donation procedure itself starts. A sterilized needle is used to take blood from donor’s arm during the donation. The amount collected is determined by the particular need and the policies of the blood centre. The donor may relax knowing that the entire process is carried out by qualified experts who put comfort and safety first.

Once finished, the donor will be given refreshments and a place to recuperate after the contribution. It's crucial to use this time to drink more fluids and have some food so the body can heal. A short drop in blood volume after donating blood is possible, but the body  soon makes up for it on its own.
