The Gender Gap: Why Don't More Indian Women Donate?
Walk into any blood camp in Mumbai or Delhi, and 90% of donors are men. Is it cultural? Or Medical?
It's Mostly Hemoglobin
Studies show over 50% of Indian women of reproductive age are anemic (Hb < 12g/dL). They *want* to donate, but are rejected at the screening desk.
The Solution
We need a national focus on female nutrition. Iron-fortified foods, regular testing, and awareness. A woman who donates is a sign of a healthy nation.
