Dear Friends

Gifts come in all shapes and colours.Some gifts come brightly wrapped,
some in funny boxes. Many are forgotten soon after they are received.
If you want to give a gift that will be remembered,give the GIFT of Life..
Give Blood.

Giving blood is a simple procedure. Donations are taken by trained 
staff supervised by a doctor and all the equipment used at each session
is new and sterile for each donor and never reused, so there is no
risk of donors becoming infected in any way.

All the donors are asked by a careful medical history and examined for
the pulse, BP and Haemoglobin% before donations. It takes 6-8 minutes
to fill up the packs with blood (450ml). After donations we will ask
you to rest lying down for 15 minutes,after which we will give you a
snack and something to drink.
