Donating blood is a painful and dangerous process. Fact: The blood donation process is actually relatively painless and safe.

2. Myth:
Donating blood weakens the body and leads to chronic fatigue. Fact: A blood donation does not significantly weaken the body. After donation, the body quickly replenishes the volume of blood lost and energy levels return to normal within a short time. It is important to take care of yourself after donation, to hydrate and eat properly to support your recovery.
3. Myth:
Women cannot donate blood regularly. Fact: Women can donate blood as regularly as men, provided they meet the established eligibility criteria. Unlike men, women may be affected by menstruation or pregnancy, which can lead to a period of temporary ineligibility. However, when eligible, women can contribute to saving lives by donating blood just as much as men.
