THE GIFT OF BLOOD IS THE GIFT OF LIFE
The INXS International Sales & Marketing Team recently volunteered and made a generous contribution by donating blood at the Shanghai (Red Cross) Blood Center.
– ‘DO NOT WAIT – PLEASE DONATE’ – well done team!
Blood donation is a crucial support for individuals going through medical procedures, fighting diseases like cancer, or dealing with severe injuries. All it takes is a willingness to share a part of oneself with those in need.
Each donation of blood has the potential to make a life-saving impact. Blood is not a luxury, but a vital necessity in medical treatments and emergency situations. Whether it’s for accident victims or patients undergoing organ transplants, a diverse and readily available blood supply is essential. The silent heroes are the blood donors, who contribute to this supply and become the unsung saviors of those in desperate circumstances.
* One donation can help save the lives of up to three people.
* People who regularly make donation live five years longer on average.
* There are four main blood types: A, B, AB and O.
* Blood cannot be manufactured – it can only come from generous donors.
* The gift of blood is the gift of life. There is no substitute for human blood.
* The number one reason donors say they give blood is because they “want to help others.”
* Donating whole blood takes only about 10-15 minutes.
