Every year India requires about 4 Crore units of blood, out of
which only a meager 40 Lakh units
of blood are available. Every two seconds someone needs blood. More than 38,000
blood donations are needed every day. If just 1% of people donate blood
regularly, there will be no blood shortage. Human Body just takes 24
hours to generate the equivalent amount of blood which one donates.(Source: friends2support)
