Summary:
June 14 is World Blood Donor DayRajan RaikhyI started my journey of donating blood way back in 1991 for a relative of a friend. It was in 2015 that Dr Suchit from the Blood Transfusion Department, PGI, guided me about the importance of platelet donation. Platelets help blood clot. A single platelet donation by ‘apheresis’ can help one patient (single donation). Donors can go in for double platelet donation as well provided they have an adequate platelet count..
