    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.

    1. Blood donors organization

      Uri, if we receive the blood donation from you and it is donated in full, it is clear that it is being used.

    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?

    1. Blood donors organization

      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.

    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 🙂

    1. Blood donors organization

      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?

      1. Blood donors organization

        Please call the donation room at Tel: 03-5300444 and inquire with them.

    1. Blood donors organization

      Hey, there's a big time difference, but you'd better check with your family doctor.

        I received a blood transfusion in England in November 2021.
        Can I donate blood in Israel?

        1. Blood donors organization

          Efrat, there are no known restrictions from England for these years and in any case the restrictions that followed the crazy violation have been canceled.

  29. light

    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

    1. Blood donors organization

      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.

      1. thanksgiving

        Hi, I donated blood today and before that I felt great, after donating I didn't stop feeling bad and throwing up uncontrollably.
        What happened to why?

        1. Blood donors organization

          Thank you, I recommend contacting a medical center for examination.

      A few days

    How long after recovering from Corona can you donate blood?

    1. Blood donors organization

      Hi Miri, 7 days

      1. Dana Salman

        I am 50 years old and want to raise blood. My blood is 0+

        1. Blood donors organization

          All donation points are listed on the website. What is the question?

  33. Sasha

    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?

    1. Blood donors organization

      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.

  34. pearl

    Hi, this morning I was at the gym, is there a problem donating blood after a workout?

    1. Blood donors organization

      After training is really not desirable. But only after the body has calmed down and you have eaten and drunk before the donation.

  35. Hagit Hagit

    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

    1. Blood donors organization

      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.

  36. Means

    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)

    1. Blood donors organization

      To find out what your blood type is, call 03-5300400. There is an automatic answer that will tell you your blood type.

  37. Rachel

    Is a headache about an hour or two after the donation reasonable or is it unrelated?

    1. Blood donors organization

      Maybe if you didn't drink enough after the donation. Not necessarily related.

    2. Sarit

      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

      1. Blood donors organization

        Sarit, unfortunately it is not possible. Only from a weight of 50 kg.

        1. Dana

          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?

          1. Blood donors organization

            Dana, these are the instructions of the Ministry of Health. We are obliged to act according to their instructions.

  87. Gili

    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.

    1. Blood donors organization

      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
      Thanks

Is there a difference in the time to wait for a blood donation between the Pfizer vaccine and Modernana and the other vaccines that will arrive in the country?
    2) My friend is interested in donating blood but she has a fracture in her hand and they had stitches removed in her leg. How long will you have to wait until you can donate?
    3) Technical question- in the past I sent a question to the system and the day I tried to send again it did not allow me to send with the same name and I sent 2 questions it deleted them for me why?

    1. Blood donors organization

      Hadas Shalom,
      Regarding 1 - If you have no side effects there is no problem donating blood.
      Regarding 2 - ask her doctor
      Regarding 3 - the system does not display the references automatically. They need to be approved. You probably had an abnormal face for some reason. This time you sent 6 times in a row. This is also a reason for blocking and deleting.
