Why Safe Blood Saves Lives

In many low-income countries, hospitals face critical shortages of safe blood. Patients—especially women in childbirth, children with severe anemia, and accident victims—suffer and sometimes die due to the lack of an adequate blood supply. Meanwhile, wealthier nations enjoy a stable, safe blood supply that is readily available.

  • Every 2 seconds, someone needs blood.
  • Over 50% of people in low-income countries do not have access to safe blood transfusions.
  • 1 donation can save up to 3 lives.
