Introduction
Donating blood regularly is beneficial to prevent and reduce heart attacks and liver ailment. The risk of heart and liver related problem is caused by the iron overload in the body. Donating blood helps in maintaining the iron level in the body and thus reduce those risk. Cancer is the most feared and deadly disease.
Based on above, from 12th standard only i.e from 1990 onwards I started donating blood. First time I donated blood in Nov/Dec 1990 when I was in Institute of Science Nagpur doing my graduation.
After that got selected in Indian Navy and donated some ¾ times. After retirement from Navy also did some 4-5 times. Till now approximately I donated 9-10 times. Didn’t stored earlier certificates or any photographs. But I remember I donated 4-5 times with Dr. Hegdewar blood storing team.
