April 20 - The National Donor Day. What makes the state for those whose blood saves life of patients? Who today becomes a donor? How is the issue of blood safety?
"Corr." - Olga A. April 20 - National Donor Day, What is the range of activities planned in Moscow in connection with this auspicious occasion?
OM .: - National Donor Day this year is celebrated widely across the country. The subjects of the Federation develop its plan of measures on realization of this event. In the Moscow office of blood, which is represented by agencies of the Department of Health of the City of Moscow, we have decided not to be limited to one day (April 20), and spend the whole week holiday for certain donors. We will work with non-profit organizations, foundations. Blood transfusion station will be decorated, we have prepared a number of gifts to donors.
We are grateful to everyone who wants to participate in the event, to become a donor for the first time, confirm the status of the personnel of the donor, come with your friends, to support, to become the agitators and propagandists of donor movement.
"Corr." - How do you assess the current situation: Is there an interest in people and a desire to become a donor?
OM .: - When the honorable donors were deprived of all benefits (in 90 years), marked by a dramatic decline in donor movement. The last few years the Ministry of Health drew attention to this problem in the development of blood donation in the country adopted a program of donation of blood and blood components. This program started in 2009 and was active in 2010.
With this program was able to increase the number of donors in 2 times. Thus, Moscow supplies blood components themselves more than 70%. It was an amazing time when we met with the donors who stopped their donor activities a few years ago. Now they come to us again, as our old friends, a low bow to them. Also a lot of young blood donors, students, college students, people who have become primary donor, and many of them moved into the category of human donors.
It held a large range of promotional and informational work. Many of us have seen the billboards, banners. Almost all the inhabitants of Moscow in 2009 received a free brochure on the donation of blood and blood components. In addition, certain steps were taken to provide a number of benefits - the introduction of an honorary donor of Moscow, which have the same benefits as the honorary donor Russia. Unfortunately, Moscow honorary donors can not realize their benefits, but will be soon prepared a new program of the Government of Moscow, these benefits were realized.
Users receive an honorary donor of Moscow, passing blood is significantly less than that required for the Honorary donor Russia nevertheless receive benefits such as 50% discount on payment of utility bills, free public transportation and many other benefits.
We follow closely the paid donors. For us there is no difference whether the donor is free of charge or paid. If a person chose to pay the donation, depending on the amount of donations to the usual payment for donations added compensation payment, which depends on the amount of blood and plazmodach. These are the main activities that are contained in the program for 2 years, they will increase the number of donors and donations by 2 times.
The social question
"Correct.": - What problems faced by the people in matters of Russian donation?
OM .: - We often meet with a problem - the reluctance of employers to spend days in the organizations of the donor. At the stations of blood transfusion are 4 mobile teams, we are ready to leave the organization for Donor Day in the workplace, that people did not have time off, wait in line for blood transfusion stations. However, a large number of employers that are denied to us under any pretext, even though it is an administrative offense.
The second thing that surprises us - not very high donor activity of students. In the 80s, when the days were held in major universities of the donor, was considered relatively successful exit with the number of donations in the 1, 5 - 2 thousand. Now it is a good exit when donating blood 400 donors. Student's youth does not show proper activity in the donor movement, although this age is most favorable to donate blood, to become a career donor to receive an honorary donor.
Besides the fact that a person does a good deed, it helps your family if your partner - personnel donor, it is absolutely safe partner. The person who gives blood more than 3 times a year, is a career donor. Human donor is tested for various infections, if he does it regularly, it is not necessary to question the safety in all respects.
First reluctance find excuses for why I was not a donor - it is a social issue. We live in difficult conditions, when the dominant idea that every man for himself. It should be understood that the donated blood - a unique therapeutic material which can not be obtained by artificial means. Donor - we are with you. If a person does not become a donor, the blood and replenish stocks will be nowhere.
"Correct.": - When there were attacks in Moscow Domodedovo, explosions in the subway, what was the activity of the population?
OM .: - If you take the current situation, donor activity for 1-2 days before the tragic events and for 2-3 days increased approximately 2-fold. It is very encouraging that we continue to be compassionate, and committed to helping the victims. But earlier, when the tragedy at Pushkin Square, an accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in blood transfusion stations queues of donors were from the blood transfusion station to the subway and on, came 2-4 thousand people. Today we see the stations transfusion of approximately 300-350 people. When committing a terrorist act in Domodedovo came about 550 people. This is the number of donors that we saw after the paths - that is exactly the number of donors that we need every day to fully provide healthcare Moscow in donated blood components.
How to become a donor?
"Correct.": - Tell us step by step algorithm of actions for those who first decided to donate blood?
OM .: - First of all, do not be afraid, because the act of donation - it is a huge benefit for the people. Most donors who have donated blood, note the very serious psychological lift. Many compared it with parachute jumping, positive development.
If you want to donate, but do not know where to start, first of all, you can open the site of blood transfusion stations, blood centers FMBA, any blood establishments to find out which institution is closer to you. In Moscow, items to donate blood very much.
If you can not use the Internet, at the blood transfusion station operating Hotline number: 8 - (495) -945-75-45.
Keep in mind that a donor can not be a person who has ever endured such diseases as syphilis, hepatitis, HIV infection. There are a number of reasons for the temporary withdrawal of the donation. All of them are set out in the orders of the Ministry of Health, in this respect, members of the Federation can not be engaged in lawmaking. We all operate within the same order. Contraindication to donation are exacerbation of chronic diseases, acute infectious diseases, weight less than 50 kg, it is one of the contra-high myopia. If you are unsure, you can always ask a question to the hotline or the Internet.
If you do not know that you have had any diseases, then we can come to the department of transfusion or at the station will be carried out check you as a donor. It is necessary to fill in the questionnaire honestly donor.
A very large number of questions, which are formulated in this application - is to take care of the donor, because donation can lead to an exacerbation of a chronic disease or lead to poor health.
Once people completed the questionnaire donor conducted medical examination of the donor with a fence of a blood test for hemoglobin, measured pressure, the doctor decides whether a person can donate blood or have bends. If a positive decision a person drinks tea with cakes, continue donating blood or plasma. After that receives compensation for meals, a certificate of exemption from work on the day of donation and an additional day of rest, and a positive attitude goes home to tell everyone what was done very good work for others.
"Correct.": - How often can I donate blood for men and women?
OM .: - Women can donate whole blood is not more than 4 times a year, the men - no more than 5 times a year. Donations plasma can be carried out not more than 20 times a year.
