Who can become a donor

Anyone can become a donor in Russia healthy man over 18 years old. Donation has contraindications:

donors per 1000 inhabitants are needed to cover the need for donated blood, according to WHO. In Russia there are three times less of them

• chronic or contagious diseases;
• weight less than 50 kg.

Those who have had the flu, ARVI or tonsillitis should temporarily refrain from donating blood. To become a donor after piercing, tattoos, childbirth or surgery, you need to wait 6-12 months.

What is blood donation like?

Whole blood. At one time, doctors take 450 ml of blood from a vein. Men can donate blood no more than once every two months, women - once every three months.

Platelets or plasma. IN modern medicine What is needed is not the whole blood, but its components: plasma and platelets. During donation, the components are separated from the blood, the rest is returned to the vein along with saline solution to normalize the pressure. Blood components can be donated once every 2 weeks. Every 4-6 donations take a break for a month.

If you become a regular donor, you will most often donate blood components. Donate them 10-20 times a year and become an honorary donor in 3-6 years.

Donate blood ahead of schedule It won’t work: all donors are included in a single register and they simply won’t let you through at the transfusion station. Missing the deadline is harmful to health, because the body does not have time to recover.

Blood in quarantine

After the first blood donation, she is quarantined for 6 months. During this time, the donor must again donate blood for examination to rule out infection. If this is not done, the blood will be disposed of.

The blood transfusion station should call you and invite you again. But in reality, donors are often forgotten. It’s better to come yourself a few months after the first delivery.

Where do you donate blood?

Some donor centers only accept pre-registration, I advise you to call and find out. Unified information phone number of the donor service: 8 800 333-33-30.

I advise donating blood at a transfusion station, not at a hospital. Everything at the station is well organized: offices are nearby, the process is automated, the equipment is modern. It can be worse in hospitals.

How to donate blood

Three days before the test, you should not take aspirin and analgesics, and two days before the test you should not drink alcohol. The day before, it is advised not to eat fatty, spicy and smoked foods, and dairy products. Be sure to get a good night's sleep and have a light breakfast of sweet tea and something low-fat. You should not smoke before the procedure.

The earlier in the day you donate blood, the easier your body will tolerate the donation. It is best to donate blood before 11 o'clock. Only experienced donors come to lunch.

What to take with you

To donate blood for the first time to a transfusion station, you need to take your passport and fluorography results. Men also need to bring a military ID or registration certificate. From the second donation you will only need a passport.

Present your documents at the transfusion station. Fill out a health questionnaire and an application for monetary compensation for food.

For the first time, blood will be taken from your finger to determine your blood type and hemoglobin level. A therapist will see you: examine you, weigh you, measure your blood pressure and ask you about your health. Afterwards you will be invited to the treatment room.

Blood or plasma is donated in the treatment room. This usually takes an hour. If you are asked how you will hand over - manually or automatically - choose manually, it’s faster.

Donating blood doesn't hurt. Most likely, you will not feel anything other than a slight sting. Much depends on individual characteristics, sometimes the donor may feel dizzy or nauseous and even lose consciousness. There is no need to be afraid of this: experienced staff is always ready. In nine years of donating, I only felt sick once, and that was because I didn’t eat breakfast. A couple of times I saw girls getting sick, but they easily returned to normal after airing. If you feel strange, tell the staff immediately.

Afterwards you will be given a certificate for your employer and sent home. In the next couple of days you need to eat well and drink plenty of fluids. It is better to avoid physical activity.

Safety

The vein puncture site is generously treated with a disinfecting solution. All instruments are disposable and sterile, they are unpacked right in front of you. With modern donation it is impossible to become infected.

What do donors expect?

Extra days off. After blood donation, the donor is entitled to 1-2 additional days off: a day off with the same average salary on the day of blood donation, as well as an additional day of rest. These days can be used immediately, or they can be transferred to any other day during the year or added to a vacation. If you go to work on the day of blood donation, you have two days off. Important condition- going to work must be agreed upon with the employer, otherwise the second day of rest will not be given. This is also true if you donated blood before the start of the working day or after it ended. If you donate blood or components several times a year, you can get from 6 to 20 additional days off and extend your vacation.

Weekends cannot be compensated with money.

To receive rest days, submit certificates from the donor institution to the accounting department: 401/у (about medical examination) and 402/у (about subsidies) or, accordingly, a certified certificate in any form. Two days of rest will be paid, even if you donated blood on a day off.

Compensation for lunch. The donor is paid 400-700 R compensation. Instead, according to the law, they can give you a free lunch, but I have not seen this.

Discount travel. If you donate blood at least twice, you can apply for extraordinary discounted vouchers for spa treatment. Vouchers are received at the place of work or study.

1💉 = 2 days off + 400 R

Donation for a fee

A donor can donate blood for money in public or private clinics. But paid donors are not needed everywhere. Rare blood types are usually required. If you want to donate blood for money, call 8 800 333-33-30 and ask where they accept it. Or better yet, to a specific station or donor point.

How to become an honorary donor

To become an honorary donor in Russia, you need to donate blood free of charge 40 times or donate blood with components 60 times. The donor then fills out an application at the transfusion station, and after a few months receives the main documents: an identification card and an honorary donor badge.

Honorary donors of Russia receive an annual cash payment ( in 2017 - 13,000 R). They are served without a queue at government institutions, give a 50% discount on prescription medications. An honorary donor goes on vacation when he wants, and not when his employer lets him go. In practice, benefits may vary depending on your region.

Donation for a fee is not taken into account in the standards for honorary donation.

Honorary Donor of Moscow

In the capital, there is the title of honorary donor of Moscow. The standards here are to donate blood 20 times or components 30 times. Donations must be made at donor points subordinate to the Moscow Department of Health. They are located near the city clinical hospitals Moscow, as well as research institutes and blood transfusion stations.

Honorary donor of Moscow with social card Muscovites travel for free on public transport, receive a 50% discount on housing and communal services and a 50% discount on medications in city pharmacies.

After receiving the title, you must donate blood at least 3 times or plasma at least 7 times within a year. After receiving an honorary donor of Russia, all the benefits of an honorary donor of Moscow are preserved.

How to negotiate with an employer

I've heard that some employers don't like regular donors: they cost more than regular employees.

Such problems have never happened to me. When I worked at school, I donated blood before classes and did not bother anyone. I went to work after donating blood. At the end of the year I went on vacation a little earlier thanks to unused time off.

By law, you may not notify your employer of your desire to donate blood. They handed it over, went away for the weekend, then brought the certificates to the accounting department.

But I always warn you: it’s more honest and simpler. The manager may be dissatisfied: the employee unexpectedly took and arranged a mini-vacation for himself. In order to reach an agreement with the employer, a few days before the donation I draw up an application to free form, where I indicate what I plan to do with the weekend: will I go to work on the day of blood donation or will I take a day off.

In my experience and the experience of familiar donors, it is better to agree with the manager in advance. Tell them that you are a donor and you are entitled to benefits. Check with your manager and colleagues when your absence will not be so noticeable. Make compromises.

Remember

1. You can donate blood if you are healthy and weigh more than 50 kg.
2. For the first test, you will need a passport and fluorography, for men - a military ID.
3. After the first blood donation, you need to donate blood again within 6 months.
4. The donor is compensated for meals and given 1-2 paid days off.
5. You can donate blood for money. In 2016 in Moscow they paid 3000 R for 450 ml of blood.
6. For 60 donations they are given the title “Honorary Donor of Russia”, for 30 donations - “Honorary Donor of Moscow”. Honorary donors have benefits.
7. The employer cannot prohibit you from becoming a donor or not giving you days off; the law is on your side.

Donation, or blood donation, refers to the donation of one’s own blood, as well as its components, on a voluntary basis. Considering the constant demand for blood transfusions, we can note the demand for donors. In addition to whole blood, a donor can donate:

Obtaining components from blood is complex biochemical process carried out by passing whole blood through a separating extractor. The required components are removed from the blood, and the remaining part is returned back to the donor. Many people are interested in the number of donations.
