June 14 - World Blood Donor Day

Donation is an exceptional opportunity to give your blood to a stranger who needs it to save life!

The only source of donor blood is a person! There is always a need for blood and its components, every day and every hour. What our regular donors give today is no longer enough. However, the blood supply depends entirely on the desire of people to donate their blood to save other lives. Anyone from the age of 18 can donate blood. The upper age limit is not defined: if you are healthy, you can continue to be a donor even at 70. There are people who donate blood for 30-40 years.

But there are contraindications, so before the first donation, a potential donor undergoes a thorough therapeutic examination. His weight, height, pulse are checked, blood pressure is measured; he answers questions on a special questionnaire: are there any diseases, bad habits, etc. The donor’s blood is then carefully examined in a laboratory to rule out any infection.

About 108 million blood donations are collected annually worldwide. Blood donation, as an act of mercy and a sincere desire to help save another life, is blessed by representatives of various religions (Christianity, Islam, etc.).

Donate blood, let the world pulsate with life!
