Voluntarily donating one's own blood to someone else's needs is blood donation. However, the blood donor must be an adult, i.e. 18 years old. Every three months, every healthy and adult man and woman can donate blood safely and securely. It does not have any harmful effect on health. However, many are hesitant to donate blood due to ignorance and undue fear of the method of blood donation and its aftermath. But how many of us know the benefits of blood donation?
