Have you given blood recently? 🩸 Did you know that just 1 hour ⏰ of your time can help save up to 3 lives! 🧍♀️🧍♂️🧍 On average 4,300 blood donations are needed every day to meet the needs of hospitals and the UK.  To achieve this the NHS would need to attract 140,000 new donors and again to replace those who can no longer donate for Health or other reasons. It's important to encourage more young people to donate between the ages 17-35 to ensure we have enough blood for the future.  🩸 What to expect when you go to donate blood: 1. Complete a health check questionnaire  2. Have a chat about your health to make sure that it is safe for you to give blood  3. Sit down and donate blood – This takes about 10 minutes  4. Rest for 15 minutes afterwards – Have a drink and a snack  🥳And you’re done! Feel proud that your donation will help save up to 3 lives.  We discuss the topic further in our latest blog, talking about who can and can't donate blood and who your blood is helping 😊 https://lnkd.in/duDy_35S You can register to donate blood in England here: www.blood.co.uk    #BloodDonation #GiveBlood 

🌍 World Organ Donation Day: A Call to Save Lives 🌱 Today, on World Organ Donation Day, we come together to raise awareness about the life-saving impact of organ donation. Every day, thousands of people around the world are given a second chance at life thanks to the generosity of donors. Organ donation is not just an act of kindness; it’s a powerful legacy that transcends life itself. 💚 Why It Matters: • There are millions of people globally waiting for organ transplants. • The gap between donors and recipients is still wide, with many losing their lives while waiting. • One donor can save or enhance the lives of more than 50 people. 👥 How You Can Help: 1. Register as an Organ Donor: Check your local organ donation registry. 2. Spread the Word: Educate your friends, family, and network about the importance of organ donation. 3. Share Your Decision: Let your loved ones know. Let’s take this day as a reminder of the incredible impact we can have on others’ lives. Together, we can close the gap and give the gift of life. #WorldOrganDonationDay #SaveLives #OrganDonation #GiftOfLife #carehospitalshiteccity Varun Khanna Dr. Hari Prasad Kovelamudi Jasdeep Singh Shalabh Dang Sunit Aggarwal Dr. Amit Singh

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), of the 112.5 million blood donations collected globally, approximately half of these are collected in high-income countries – home to only 19% of the world’s population. The blood donation rate in high-income countries is 33.1 donations per 1000 people, 11.7 in middle-income countries and only 4.6 in low-income countries.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Scott Pearce from New Zealand Blood Service recently and one thing is clear. NZ Blood need our support. I have to admit as I have had a heart attack I am not able to donate. Scott can attest to how gutted I was at this (and pretty scared of the needle too!). But if I can't donate I will do what I can to help. Here's some thing's we spoke about Did you know just one donation can save up to three lives? Every week, New Zealand requires over 5,000 blood donations to meet the needs of those in hospitals. We just aren't getting near that level of donation. Why donate blood? Save lives: Every donation is a chance to make a real difference. The attached picture shows where blood donations go. Community impact: Support your local community by helping those in need. Pay it forward: Your generosity could one day benefit you or your loved ones. Join a lifesaving team: Be part of an extraordinary group dedicated to saving lives. Ensure a steady supply: Regular donations ensure blood is always available. Less than 4% of eligible New Zealanders donate blood. Yes you read that right. Less than 4%! Join the cause today and help make a lasting impact! Just remember not all heroes wear capes. I can only imagine the feeling you would get when your phone pings to say your blood has been used to save a life. At Te Pūkenga we host blood drives, and I challenge other organisations to do the same or if you don't have the facilities to do so reach out and we can work together! Visit the New Zealand Blood Service website to find a donation center near you and learn more about eligibility requirements. Let's work together to ensure a steady supply of blood for those in need. #DonateBlood #SaveLives #CommunityImpact #NewZealandBloodService
