Blood donation involves voluntarily donating blood which is then stored in blood banks for medical use by patients in need. A study assessed the awareness of blood donation among 71 medical students in 2010. It found that most students were aware of blood donation and its importance in saving lives, though some did not donate due to health issues or fear. The study concluded that students had generally good knowledge but should continue to be motivated to donate blood on a regular basis to help address shortages.
