The action “Halloween in the Blood Center” will be held in Kazan

<p> (KZN.RU, October 30). On November 2, a donor event will be held in Kazan at the Republican Blood Center, timed to Halloween marking the beginning of the winter period. A celebration of “Halloween in the Blood Center” with pumpkins, a themed photo area, and tasty treats will be organized for donors. </p> <p> </p> <p> Before donating blood, citizens are urged to check with the so-called “donor’s traffic light”, located on the main page of the Republican Blood Center. It is compiled on the basis of information that medical institutions daily send to the blood center. There, donors will be able to find out which blood group there is an urgent need and which one is enough. The green is for “enough blood”, yellow is for “blood needed”, and red is for “blood urgently needed”. </p> <p> </p> <p> Anyone over the age of 18 can be a donor who has a weight of at least 50 kg and who has no contraindications. Thus, the following are among the reasons for donor withdrawal: 1 month after URTI, flu, and quinsy, 10 days after extraction of teeth, 1 year after giving birth, from 6 months to 1 year after surgery. </p> <p> </p> <p> Donors who come to donate blood should have a passport with them. In addition, donors need to refrain from eating fatty, fried, and spicy foods on the day of blood donation and the day before. In the morning, you should have a light breakfast; it is not recommended to donate blood on an empty stomach. 48 hours before the visit to the blood transfusion station, it is necessary to refrain from drinking alcohol and an hour before the procedure from smoking. </p> <p> </p> <p> Tatarstan residents and, in particular, the residents of Kazan actively support the development of the donor movement by participating in blood sampling. Thus, about 13 thousand people take part in blood donation annually, about 12-13 tons of blood is procured only at the base of the RBC in Kazan. As a result of last year, this figure was exceeded. In total, about 25 thousand liters of donor blood were collected, of which 15 tons were collected at the center and another 10 tons by blood transfusion departments in large medical institutions of the city. </p> <p> </p> <p> The action “Halloween in the Blood Center” will be held from 9 am to 1 pm, reports the administration of the project “Good Kazan”. </p>
