As if he had saved a whole world

The Israeli Blood Donors Association was founded in Tel Aviv in 1936 during the days of the bloody events, when the people of Tel Aviv felt the need to create a pool of volunteers ready to donate blood at any time to the wounded, who were sent from all parts of the country to the only Jewish hospital in the region - "Hadasa" Tel Aviv. Today the organization has over 22,000 members.
The Israeli Blood Donors Association works alongside the MDA's blood services, which annually collect approximately 270,000 units of blood from volunteer donors, who do so without any material compensation (approximately 1,000 units of blood each day). Over the years, the association donates a lot and helps in every issue Blood donations in Israel.

Why do blood donations continue throughout the year?

In fact, it was possible to raise many people "in an operation" to an area full of blood that would be enough for a long period of time.

Right? Not true!

Platelets have three components: red blood cells that can be stored up to 35 days, platelets that can store 5 days and plasma that can be frozen for up to a year and a half so there is no need for many donors at once but blood donations throughout the year.

How many and why?

To meet the increasing demands of the Israeli healthcare system, approximately 1200 blood donations must be donated each day.

Blood donations in Israel are carried out by MDA's blood services, with the aim of providing all the hospitals in Israel with all the blood components needed to treat the sick and injured, both routinely and in emergencies.

It is not yet possible to produce blood in the laboratory, so blood has no substitute, So that only a blood donation from one person can save another.

Why is it important to donate blood voluntarily?

To increase the safety and quality of the blood packings, it is very important that the blood donation be given voluntarily, and without any financial rewards. Volunteer donors provide reliable information about their lifestyle habits and medical issues that may be harmful to patients receiving the dose of infusion. It is important to know that there is complete confidentiality about the information you provide, as well as the results of the tests that will be performed in the dose.
