The Lifesaving Act of Blood Donation

Blood donation is a priceless gift that cannot be bought, only given. Those who donate blood are true heroes, providing hope and life to those in critical need. Within UTF, the dedicated UTF Blood Donors Community stands ready to assist whenever there is a need for blood.

On June 12, 2024, our donors showcased their unwavering commitment when hope seemed lost for a patient in urgent need of a blood transfusion. Mr. Birchandra Debbarma was in dire need, and our selfless donors, Mr. Abhijit Debbarma and Mr. Biplab Debbarma, promptly stepped forward. Mr. Abhijit donated his A+ blood, while Mr. Biplab provided AB+ blood. Their generosity brought immense relief and gratitude to Mr. Birchandra’s family, highlighting the vital role our community plays.

Blood donation offers numerous benefits for both donors and recipients. Regular donations can reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering blood viscosity and iron levels, and may also decrease the risk of certain types of cancer by reducing iron stores. Each donation can burn up to 650 calories and helps maintain healthy iron levels, lowering the risk of hemochromatosis. Donating blood also provides a sense of purpose and satisfaction from helping others, enhances community spirit and involvement, and includes a free mini-health check as donations are screened for various health indicators.

At UTF, we encourage you to join our blood donor community. By donating blood, you not only save lives but also gain health benefits and contribute to the well-being of our society. Your generosity today can ensure that help is available when you or someone else is in need.
