Becoming a blood donor doesn\u2019t take very much time and energy, but it does allow us to give the greatest gift of all \u2013 saving someone\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>Each day, tens of patients at Estonian hospitals need blood from donors. Anyone \u2013 people we know, our friends, loved ones \u2013 can find themselves needing help due to an accident. Our own lives could someday depend on donated blood.<\/p>\n<p>Blood cannot be produced industrially \u2013 the only source is a voluntary donor. By giving blood, we can be sure that Estonia has the supplies needed to save the lives of all who need blood, as no one can be certain they won\u2019t be involved in an accident or other misfortune.<\/p>\n<p>Donor blood is used for difficult operations and complicated births, and in treating patients suffering from cancer, liver disease, haemorrhage, severe injury, anaemia, leukaemia, burns and many other diseases and conditions. Donor blood also makes it possible to carry out many planned operations that would not otherwise be possible due to excessive blood loss.<\/p>\n<p>In Estonia, blood donations are voluntary and not compensated. The donor\u2019s intentions must be without selfish motives and come out of a sincere desire to help others. Giving blood gives that priceless feeling of having really helped others.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_424\" style=\"width: 858px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/verekeskus.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Doonorile1.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-424\" width=\"848\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/verekeskus.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Doonorile1.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-424 size-full attachment-1696x1074\" alt=\"Doonorile\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-424\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Become a blood donor.
