“The Red Liquid circulating in veins structure of human being and other living organisms is called Blood“. It provides oxygen to heart while removes quantity of waste elements in form of carbon dioxide. Life-Cycle of living creatures revolve around this whole mechanism. On the other hand “When a person voluntarily gives blood for transfusion process to other person in need is called Blood Donation“. Lab person stores that blood under proper observation for several testing procedures to make it completely compatible for transfusion. This is basically a social cause without any reward or profit in return & donor donates blood on his own will. But some organizations and blood-banks compensate donors for this act of kindness.
Statistical Measures:
With every passing minute, thousand of people who suffer from life threatening situation depends on blood supply to keep their breathes alive. During the emergency situations, there is demand of approximately 1.6 million blood bags in Pakistan annually. Meanwhile more than 5000 children are diagnose with Thalassemia-Major. But the dark side of these statistics is that there is only 10-20% ratio of donation by general public. Most of the times family members arrange donations on their own like from relatives and friends. So this analysis is clearly revealing the concern of how less there is number of people who donates blood on priority basis. There is need of more blood supply in comparison with its demand scale.

Because there is large number of people who still hesitate from donating blood due to lack of knowledge and awareness. General Public must be conscious about their social and moral responsibilities as a human being.
