If other states require blood, we will help save patients immediately. Blood donors are nameless heroes,' she told reporters after a blood donor appreciation event in conjunction with the state World Blood Donors' Day 2025 here today. She explained that one bag of blood could save three lives and people need to understand donating blood was not a momentary choice but a continuous social obligation born out of concern and empathy.
