Blood donors in Russia will no longer pay

Financial compensation is provided for blood donation and existed all these years in Russia - canceled. Moreover, the refusal to pay is not the only change that has undergone a law "On the donation of blood and blood components." Its rules are much stricter, but in a new form, it will take effect only next year.

The money is always prepared for donors   blood donation It represented a compensation from the state, which is supposed each donor had to spend on food. The rate of blood donation - 400 milliliters, which is a stress to the body and demands the restoration of power supply. On it, instead of blood, as many think, and paid donors.

Now the money to people who voluntarily donate blood, will not pay. Instead, donors will be offered coupons for lunch or just a free set of food. However, to decide what exactly compensate donate blood to people of their "victim" - a free lunch, or all the same amount of money - eventually will power every Russian region. (Recall that the compensatory payment for the dinner is different in different regions).

In addition, the new law prohibits the use of blood donor services to private medical organizations, and even those who work in the system of mandatory health insurance. In particular, they will no longer be able to collect any blood from the donor, or to harvest it, as well as to store and transport.

It is reported that the new rules will come into force early next year, six months after the official publication of the updated law. As far as all of its provisions are implemented in practice - is another question. For example, the law "On the donation of blood and blood components" provides additional measures of social support to donors who have passed during the year the blood and / or its components in a total amount equal to two maximum doses. For example, they were supposed to priority allocation of a place of work or study permits for preferential spa treatment. However, many donors are faced with non-compliance of the rules and could not get laid their benefits.
