Healthy donor – healthy nation
A donor is a person who gives his blood, and with it – health to the patient. Saving the life of another person, giving a piece of yourself, everyone should remember that it will benefit only if his blood is safe and does not contain viruses, drugs, alcohol, chemical compounds and everything that can harm the patient. The health of the donor is not only his personal capital, it is also the hope and health of others.
The Blood Service constantly monitors the health status of donors. Each visit of the donor to the blood transfusion station begins with a temperature measurement. Filling out the necessary questionnaires by the donor and collecting detailed information about possible contacts with sick people or past illnesses is a mandatory moment of medical selection. A thorough examination by a doctor and the results of a laboratory study will help to identify abnormalities in the state of health and determine contraindications to donation.
