  • Yuanta Shows Love for Society with 10 Years of Blood Drives
    Yuanta Shows Love for Society with 10 Years of Blood Drives Earning Outstanding Group recognition for 5 years in a row Yuanta Charity Blood Drive goes on as usual amidst coronavirus concerns, gathering 924 bags of blood. Yuanta has been devoted to the campaign of “Roll Up Sleeves to Spread Love, Donate Blood to Help Others”. Impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, blood banks across Taiwan are sounding alarms over blood shortages. Yuanta FHC organized a campaign of Blood Donation Month in April and a total of 707 people participated, collecting 924 bags of blood. Yuanta FHC has been promoting charity blood drives for ten years, donating a cumulative total of 17,032 bags. This year, Yuanta was once again recognized by the Taiwan Blood Services Foundation and was awarded the “Outstanding Blood Donor Group” honor for the fifth consecutive year. A manager of Yuanta, who participated in the blood donation, shared that there was a period when she was unable to donate blood because of low blood pressure and insufficient hemoglobin due to staying up late. But later she adjusted her work schedule and supplemented her nutrition, and was finally able to donate blood. The manager said, “What a blessing it is to donate blood. It is not only to help others, but also represents that you are healthy!” A Yuanta staff, who is a first-time donor, said, “I was very nervous to donate blood for the first time, and it was very scary to see how thick the needles were for blood donation!” But shortly afterwards, he changed the thought into “it is extremely meaningful to be able to help others by simply donating a bag of blood” to overcome the fear.

  • Training Workshop on Achieving 100% Voluntary Non-Remunerated Blood Donation for Priority Countries in Europe and Central Asia
    Training Workshop on Achieving 100% Voluntary Non-Remunerated Blood Donation for Priority Countries in Europe and Central Asia Barcelona, Spain 16-18 June 2010 ABSTRACT The workshop, organized as a collaborative activity between WHO, the Health department of the Government of Catalonia, Spain, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, followed the global celebration of the World Blood Donor Day event 2010. Representatives from fourteen priority countries agreed upon the barriers and challenges in achieving 100% voluntary non- remunerated donation of blood and blood components, and learnt from international dedicated work, including the South East European blood safety project. Participants revised strategies and plans for the development of relevant programmes in their own countries. A set of recommendations was developed.

  • Talking Points/FAQ COVID-19 Severe Blood Shortage March 23, 2020
    Talking Points/FAQ COVID-19 Severe Blood Shortage March 23, 2020 Talking Points The American Red Cross faces a severe blood shortage due to an unprecedented number of blood drive cancellations during this coronavirus outbreak. Healthy individuals are needed to schedule an appointment to give in the days and weeks ahead to help patients counting on lifesaving blood throughout this pandemic. • As the coronavirus pandemic has grown here in the U.S., we have seen blood drive cancellations grow at an alarming rate. As of March 22, more than 6,000 Red Cross blood drives have been canceled across the country due to coronavirus concerns, resulting in about 200,000 fewer blood donations. • Workplaces, college campuses and schools are canceling their blood drives as these locations temporarily close and more people are being told to work remotely and practice social distancing. • Given these cancellations, donors may see fewer opportunities to give. We are working around the clock to identify new hosts and are adding new blood drives each day. • Please do not feel discouraged if there is not an immediate appointment available – patients still need you. As experts have emphasized, this outbreak is not limited to days and the Red Cross will continue to face blood collection challenges for weeks and even months during this crisis. We understand why people may be hesitant to come out for a blood drive, but want to reassure the public that we have implemented additional precautions to ensure the safety of our donors and staff in response to concern, including: • Checking the temperature of staff and donors before entering a drive to make sure they are healthy • Providing hand sanitizer for use before the drive, as well as throughout the donation process • Spacing beds, where possible, to follow social distancing practices between blood donors, and • Increasing enhanced disinfecting of surfaces and equipment.
