Hi, I have type O blood and have donated three times in the last two years. Because I have thin veins it sometimes takes 25-30 minutes to donate. Do they still use blood? Someone told me it's too long and I really don't want to waste my time and blood.
Uri, if we receive the blood donation from you and it is donated in full, it is clear that it is being used.
How do I find out when I last donated?
To get information about the last donation date, call 03-5300400 in the morning on Sunday - Thursday.
peace. I have AB+ blood type and I occasionally come to donate plasma. Is plasma donation less "considered" than normal blood donation? Or is it better in my case to donate only plasma anyway?
Danny, it all depends on the type of patient, the requirement and many other factors.
In your case, only plasma is better because you have unique blood for those who use blood components. So feel very special 🙂 because you are.
Just know that you can donate every month by appointment.
Thanks.
Hello
I tried to donate blood a week ago and the hemoglobin was slightly lower than the required minimum value.

Is it permissible to donate blood about two weeks after a viral illness (cold and fever), when you feel well but have residual cough and runny nose?

It's just a paint stain (with the stab mark in the middle) that doesn't come off the arm

Hello Michal, it's like a bloodbath. If it doesn't hurt, it will probably fade and disappear in a few days. Follow up and if it doesn't go away it is advisable to be checked at a medical center.

Hi, I just joined the organization, although I didn't quite understand why and for what - because I also donate blood from time to time, without membership in the organization, but fine, let it be, in fun, probably a good thing. Welcome everyone 🙂
Hi, first of all it is a great privilege to join an organization whose goal is to save lives.
Joining is designed to increase awareness, to feel obligated to donate blood more than once a year (we have many members who donate 4 times a year) and there are also other activities that organization members can participate in after joining. You can read everything on the website.
Thank you for joining.
Hello, I donated blood four days ago. There was some problem. They couldn't get my blood out, and I felt when they used the needle a bit of a burning sensation. I told the person in charge that it was burning after I donated from the other hand, and I feel in my hand that they couldn't get a bit of a strange feeling. Can you tell me what it is?
Please call the donation room at Tel: 03-5300444 and inquire with them.
What is the reason why I don't have the details of my blood (blood type) even though I made a donation five months ago and two and a half months ago...
I tried both voice response and asked when I came to donate a second time.
Can I donate again after ten weeks and five days?
Or you have to wait exactly 12 weeks
It is possible two weeks before subject to a hemoglobin test instead of seeing 12.5
What is the reason that diabetics treated with insulin are prohibited from donating blood?
\
These are the instructions of the Ministry of Health. We are obliged to work according to them. You can contact them to find out or your family doctor.

Hey
I donated my first blood yesterday.
I understood from the blood donation, that because this is the first blood donation - I should receive an SMS message from MDA, in which my blood type is indicated.
Is this true, or in order to find out the blood type, should I call the phone indicated on your website?
Thank you
Hi Or, it is indeed necessary to call the number listed on our website. 03-5300400 and a voice response will give you the blood type.

I am 50 years old and want to raise blood. My blood is 0+
All donation points are listed on the website. What is the question?
Hi, I donated blood this morning around 9 am, and the puncture site is still bleeding. Not massively but blood comes out. It should be noted that this is not the first time I have donated blood and I have never read anything like this. Is it dangerous?
Hi Sasha, in such a case you should contact a medical center. It would have been advisable to contact after the donation when you saw that it was still bleeding and not to wait so many hours.
I recommend getting to the center as soon as possible.
Hi, this morning I was at the gym, is there a problem donating blood after a workout?
After training is really not desirable. But only after the body has calmed down and you have eaten and drunk before the donation.
How does it make sense that there is no blood?
I know that a lot of citizens donate blood and part both regularly and the army... just suddenly it really interests me
Hi Hagit, I wish what you wrote was correct. The number of blood units donated per year from those able to donate in the country is less than 0.8 units per person per year.
During the holidays, people almost never come to donate, and this creates a serious shortage.
A healthy person can donate 4 times a year. Don't forget that the blood and its components are also required for ongoing surgeries, treatments for cancer patients and much more.
Hi, I donated blood a month ago and I tried to send an email to the number they gave me in the telephone answering machine in order to know what my blood type is and I sent several emails and they don't answer me. How do I know what the blood type is anyway? (I also tried answering the phone with details and MZ)
To find out what your blood type is, call 03-5300400. There is an automatic answer that will tell you your blood type.
Is a headache about an hour or two after the donation reasonable or is it unrelated?
Maybe if you didn't drink enough after the donation. Not necessarily related.
It is possible to donate if I weigh 45 kilos, the hemoglobin and blood pressure are normal
I am 33 years old and 1.50 tall, so I weigh like this
I am healthy and strong regardless of my weight
Sarit, unfortunately it is not possible. Only from a weight of 50 kg.
Just to be sure, why not give below 50 if the health is completely normal?
Is there a danger to those who receive this dose of blood or only to those who donate?
Dana, these are the instructions of the Ministry of Health. We are obliged to act according to their instructions.

After a month
Does that mean you can donate blood, after a month donate plasma and after another two months donate blood again?
And is it permissible to donate plasma even from the age of 17?
If I donated blood on 22/10, am I allowed to donate blood again exactly on 22/01?? Or is it possible a few days before?
Mittal, you can also do it a few days before, subject to a hemoglobin test on the spot. If it comes out less than 12, you will not be able to donate.
I would love to know what all the things are not allowed/should be done the day before the donation

Drink a lot and eat well on the day of the donation, experience helps

How important is negative blood type O?
I get text messages, emails and phone calls to come donate urgently, and then when I arrive it turns out they have posted and asked the whole country and all blood types to come.
Why is there no priority for negative O blood type?
Why is it not possible to make an appointment?
I had to postpone the donation more than once due to congestion at the donation stations.
Keep in mind that people have more things to do, and instead of asking them to spend a few hours donating (and talkbackers still accuse them of not being willing to save lives for a few hours), streamline the system for an orderly donation.
Even so, you do not distribute blood units for free and you have additional donors to the organization.
Ask Super Pharm to donate the system to you. Can their queues.
Gili Shalom,
You turned to the organization of volunteer blood donors, part of whose activity is to encourage blood donations through information, advertising, training and more.
Those who are responsible for performing the blood donations are MDA.
Blood type O minus is most necessary.
True, today there are no appointments for blood donations but only for Pesma donations, and sometimes there are queues at the stations, but unfortunately this only happens in a few cases and I wish there was such a response that would cause queues at the stations.
Regarding setting appointments for blood donations, the possibility is being examined by MDA.
We would love to see you come to donate at one of the fundraising points https://www.dam.org.il/where-to-donate/?=sitemenu
