World Blood Donor Day: Why Indians Regularly Excercise Donating & Receiving Blood

Donating  blood is a selfless deed that is vital for the treatment of many illnesses, such as cancer, anemia, and blood loss. People usually give their blood to blood banks or organizations that gather it so that it can be used in transfusions. The healthcare sector depends on having a consistent supply of healthy blood. World Blood Donor Day is celebrated annually to raise awareness of the value of blood donation and to inspire more people to give blood.

Why In India Blood Sharing Is A Regular Activity?

What could be the connection between a woman giving birth, a child suffering from thalassemia, and an individual hurt in an automobile accident?

If you ask their caretakers, many of them have been requested to make arrangements for blood donors so that their loved ones can get a transfusion of blood or blood components when necessary. They’ll also let you know how challenging it is to make these arrangements.

Any social media site where you search for “blood request” will show you a number of unanswered tweets or posts titled “urgent requirement for blood.”

The blood donation standards in India, even after a 2020 modification, still classify all gay men and sex workers as “high risk.”

Although there is a higher risk of infection associated with some sexual activities, it is unfair and ineffective to permanently exclude those who fall into these categories. Not only are the recommendations ambiguous and deceptive, but they also allow for a great deal of flexibility in real practice.

Did You Know Blood Donation Was Banned?

In response to the HIV pandemic of the 1980s, the government established the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) in 1992 to supervise the implementation of measures aimed at stopping the disease’s spread.
January 1, 1998, blood sales were banned, as a result of public intetrest lawsuit brought before the Supreme Court in the year 1996. This led to a surge in the scarcity in blood.
The WHO Guidelines on the Clinical Use of Blood were endorsed by the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) in 2002. Selling or donating blood in exchange for money is prohibited by the National Blood Transfusion Services Act of 2007, and offenders risk up to three months in jail and penalties. The Supreme Court received a petition in March 2021 contesting the blood donation policies that forbid transgender individuals, homosexuals, and sex workers from donating blood.

Who Cannot Donate?

People who are poorly nutritious, cannot sleep, has a tattoo, diseased cannot donate.
