Solution

Blood Donation:

  1. It is a voluntary procedure that could save someone's life.
  2. A blood transfusion is a procedure that replenishes the blood supply after an illness or injury.
  3. A transfusion helps to replace one or more of the components that make up healthy blood if the body is missing one or more of them.

Proper checking of blood before the donation is required for the following reasons:

  1. To prevent the transmission of any disease that could be transmitted by blood transfusion.
  2. Blood is tested for blood type and Rh type to ensure that patients receive blood that is compatible with their blood type.
  3. To ensure that blood is clear of infectious pathogens such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, and C viruses before it is donated.
