Abstract

One of the health needs of every society is the availability of blood and its products. Increasing development of medicine has resulted in increased medical interventions and surgeries. Therefore, the need for blood and its products has increased. This trend has led to worries of countries and challenges of blood transfusion centers to supply sufficient, safe blood. Voluntary blood donation is the main source of providing blood and its products, both of which are important to the health of patients who need blood. This brief paper deals with the importance of women's donations of blood.
