Presidential Execution Office joins blood donation campaign

29 ноября 2022
The Presidential Execution Office has joined a blood donation campaign for the 90th anniversary of the blood service. More than 20 employees donated blood and plasma at the City Transfusiology Center. Tomorrow, bikers and hockey players will take part in it.

On December 2, the charity event will be over by the scientific-practical conference with the international participation.

Olga Klimovich, Deputy Chief Physician of the clinical hospital № 6. Minsk, head of the City Center of Transfusiology:

There should be more men - this is an international standard, because donation involves not only blood donation, but also components plasma and platelets. We stocked a lot of plasma: about 12 tons. It is used not only for transfusions, but also for the production of blood preparations.

Valery Belsky, Assistant to President of Belarus:

Approximately every third person living on the Earth needs a blood transfusion at least once in his life: there is no artificial substitute. That's why donation is an important component of our civilization. In 2022 we have such a mass field trip for the second time after World Blood Donor Day. But individually, our employees are frequent guests here, and we have candidates for honorary donors.

More than 150 donors come to the center every day, a proportional ratio of male and female donors. The average age of a donor is 35-40 years old.
