Free blood donation is a noble act of selfless dedication and saving lives, and it is the general direction of the development of blood cause in China. Blood donation is the embodiment of love and dedication, and the value of helping patients relieve their pain and save their lives cannot be measured by money.
For nearly half a century, the World Health Organization and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement have been calling for the principle of "blood for medical use" to all countries in the world. The age of encouraging voluntary blood donation in China is 18-55 years old.
Blood donation type
There are two main types of blood donation: whole blood donation and component blood donation. Donating whole blood can be carried out at blood collection points (blood donation houses and blood donation vehicles) in most cities and counties. Blood donation component refers to the behavior of healthy citizens to collect and separate a certain component in human blood through a blood cell separator. The donated blood components can be platelets, granulocytes, plasma or hematopoietic stem cells.
As of 20 15, platelet collection by donation is more common in China. Usually, blood components can only be donated at municipal blood stations and blood centers.
Donating to blood component requires a more spacious environment and professional collection equipment, which puts higher demands on the power and comfort of the collection equipment. Generally, it is only collected when clinically needed. Therefore, you should bring your ID card and other valid documents to each blood collection point to make an appointment and then donate blood components as scheduled.
