#Blood Safety Series .
A critical part in Blood Safety. A main step to ensure safe blood transfusion is to promote voluntary blood donation.
voluntary non-remunerated blood donors are the community builders in saving lives.
lets check how one can implement 100 % voluntary blood donation and bring revolution in blood safety.
How can you help others Be a Gift to the World through blood donation? Learn about the value of family and acquaintance blood donors (FAD) as a major source of potentially regular blood donors, particularly in resource-limited countries, and get ideas for blood donation projects from around the globe.
Blood donation involves voluntarily donating blood which is then stored in blood banks for medical use by patients in need. A study assessed the awareness of blood donation among 71 medical students in 2010. It found that most students were aware of blood donation and its importance in saving lives, though some did not donate due to health issues or fear. The study concluded that students had generally good knowledge but should continue to be motivated to donate blood on a regular basis to help address shortages.

Canadian Blood Services is a non-profit organization that collects approximately 850,000 units of blood annually from over 1600 locations across Canada. They process and distribute blood and blood products to hospitals. To increase their donor base, especially among younger people aged 18-35, they plan to expand their marketing from traditional channels to digital platforms like social media. Their action plan includes TV, radio, and online ads to attract more donors and raise awareness of the donation process.
KNBTS estimates Kenya’s annual need for blood to be 200,000-250,000 units annually.
Collection is about 160,000 units.
There is a deficit of about 40,000-90,000 units annually.
However WHO recommends 10-20 units of blood per 1000 population.
Kenya population (2009) was 38,610 097* which would put Kenya’s need to a minimum of 380,000 units annually.
CANSA continues with the traditional, annual celebration of CANSA volunteers this International Volunteers Day in December 2017.
International Volunteers Day, celebrated annually on the 5th of December, was mandated by the United Nations General Assembly in 1985, to celebrate the power and potential of volunteerism.

World Blood Donor Day is observed on June 14th every year to raise awareness about the importance of voluntary blood donation and to thank blood donors for their life-saving contributions. It serves as an opportunity to encourage more people to donate blood and to recognize the individuals who donate blood regularly without any monetary compensation.
The day was established by the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to promote the availability and safety of blood and blood products for patients in need.
The theme for World Blood Donor Day varies each year, focusing on different aspects of blood donation. It aims to highlight the significant role of voluntary blood donors in saving lives and improving health care systems. Numerous events and activities are organized worldwide to celebrate this day, including blood donation drives, awareness campaigns, educational programs, and public discussions.
Red Cool Blood (Integrated Marketing Communications Plan)Shanae Sharon
The Red Cool Blood Campaign aims to increase blood donations among youth ages 17-30 by creating a fun experience around donating blood. It will position donating blood as a "cool" thing to do rather than focusing on altruism. The campaign will use "Blood Spas", exclusive parties, discounts and incentives to attract donors. It will promote through social media, branded items, and events on college campuses. The goals are to increase donations by 20% and awareness by 70% among the target demographic.

This document discusses phasing out replacement blood donation and moving towards 100% voluntary blood donation (VBD) in India. It defines replacement donation as donation from a patient's family/friends that often involves coercion or payment. The document outlines reasons not to allow replacement donation, including that it is promoted by private blood banks for business and government banks to avoid responsibility. It discusses measures taken by the National Blood Transfusion Council (NBTC) and State Blood Transfusion Councils (SBTCs) to encourage VBD. It calls for hospitals and blood banks to publicly disclose voluntary versus replacement donations, share plans to phase out replacement donations, and for strong messaging against replacement donations from regulatory bodies.
The Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) is a voluntary humanitarian organization that provides relief during disasters and promotes health in India. It has over 700 branches across the country. The IRCS carries out various activities, including disaster relief, health education, operating blood banks, and providing nursing and ambulance services. It also works on maternal and child welfare, hospital services, and vocational training. The organization is led by a Managing Body and aims to abide by the Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross movement, particularly humanity, impartiality, and neutrality.
Blood donation is a safe and simple procedure that involves volunteers giving blood or blood products. As advances in medicine have increased demand for blood, donation is important for saving lives. While over 81 million blood donations are collected globally each year, developing countries collect less than half despite having 80% of the world's population. In Nepal, over 262,000 pints of blood were collected in 2017-18, helping those with pregnancy complications, childhood anemia, trauma and other conditions. Regular blood donation is beneficial for donors' health by lowering cholesterol and heart disease risk, though many misconceptions still exist in Nepal regarding donation.

This document outlines the vision, objectives, strategies, and activities of an organization called Terumo Penpol Limited to promote voluntary blood donation in Trivandrum, India. The organization aims to register 10,000 new donors annually through donor motivation campaigns and increase awareness of voluntary blood donation. Key strategies include holding blood donation camps, educational sessions, and recognition events to encourage participation and build a reliable donor base. Over the years, the organization has seen growing results in terms of blood units collected, repeat regular donors, number of donor camps and organizations, and women donors.
This document describes an online blood bank system created by students at Savitribai Phule Pune University. The system aims to develop an online platform to maintain information about blood donors, recipients, and donation camps. It allows users to create, update, and delete donor and recipient profiles. The system was built using tools like PHP and MySQL on a Dell laptop. It includes modules for login, admin access, donor registration, user access, and FAQs. Screenshots show interfaces for the home page, contact/about pages, registration, donation lists, employee lists, campaigns and more. Future work could expand functionality based on blood bank feedback.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Indian red cross society
Ahmedabad district branch
2. WHY?
Blood transfusion is an indispensable component of health care.
To ensure a safe and sufficient supply of blood components.
3. VOLUNTARY NON-REMUNERATED BLOOD
DONOR (VNRBD)
Definition: “A person who gives blood, plasma, or other
blood components of his/her own free will and receives no
payment for it, either in the form of cash or in-kind, which
could be considered a substitute for money.
4. BLOOD COLLECTION AND PROPORTION OF
VNRBDS IN INDIA ARE AS FOLLOWS
Total Population: 1393.4 million population
Total Donations: 12.4 million
Total VNRBDs: 9.42 million
% VNRBDs: 76%
* Voluntary non-remunerated blood donations to ensure blood safety in the WHO South-East Asia
Region to support universal health coverage; WHO 2023 Report
5. STRATEGIES - PROMOTION OF VOLUNTARY
NON-REMUNERATED BLOOD DONATIONS
Create an enabling environment for 100% voluntary non-remunerated blood
donation:
Strengthen collaboration and partnerships by/with-
o Awareness campaigns in schools and college.
o People at work places-factory workers.
o Uniformed services viz. paramilitary, police – Ahmedabad Red Cross have strong
association with police department.
o Religious and community leaders- We have celebrated blood donation campaign-
“Rang Che Ekta No.”
6. STRATEGIES - PROMOTION OF VOLUNTARY
NON-REMUNERATED BLOOD DONATIONS
Foster a culture of voluntary blood donation:
- Understand your blood donors-What motivates people- Benefits of blood donation.
- Identify target blood donor population.
- Develop communication strategies for donor education-Effective communication
and campaign.
- Build partnerships with the media.
- Good service and support to donors.
- Maximize the impact of World Blood Donor Day and National Voluntary Blood
Donation Day events.
7. STRATEGIES - PROMOTION OF VOLUNTARY NON-
REMUNERATED BLOOD DONATIONS
Build and maintain a safe, sustainable voluntary donor base:
- Educate, motivate and recruit new blood donors.
- Mobilize youth as a new generation of voluntary blood donors.
- Convert eligible replacement donors to voluntary blood donors.
- Ensure blood availability.
- Recall infrequent, inactive and temporarily deferred blood donors.
- Retain suitable voluntary blood donors.
- Recognize blood donors’ contribution to society.
8. STRATEGIES - PROMOTION OF VOLUNTARY
NON-REMUNERATED BLOOD DONATIONS
Provide quality donor service and care
- Make it convenient for donors to give blood.
- Elevate donor anxiety.
- Provide blood donor counselling.
- Make blood donation a safe and pleasant experience.
9. DONOR RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION
STRATEGIES
Regular repeat donors – why are they safest- Regularly donate blood hence
regularly get screened for TTIs and become a part of safe donor pool.
Conversion of first-time donor to regular repeat donor – strategies:
- Appeal to the blood donor about the need to donate again and again; ignite the
passion.
- Appreciate the blood donor- thank the donor at least three times during the process
of blood donation. Follow up with thanks message using communications channels
like short messaging system (SMS), WhatsApp, emails and/or social media such as
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.
10. DONOR RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION
STRATEGIES
- Simply ask for the next blood donation using the above-mentioned communication
channels.
- Make it convenient for the donor to donate; reach out to the workplace of the donor
– outdoor blood donation drives and/or reach out to the home of the donor– outdoor
blood donation drives with resident welfare associations, market welfare
associations and religious associations; where the donor is likely to participate
during his/her free time.
11. DONOR RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION
STRATEGIES
Minimize:
- Donor waiting time.
- Donor adverse reactions.
- Donor anxiety – provide audio-visual engagement.
- Donor attrition due to deferral – explain the deferral and encourage re-induction of
temporarily deferred donors after the due waiting period is over.
- Donor dissatisfaction – enhance personal connect between the donor and the
service staff.
12. COMMON GAPS AND OPPORTUNITIES
1. Promote awareness of VNRBDs:
- Use information technology/social media tools such as Facebook, WhatsApp and
blogs and reinforce existing contacts using Twitter, emails, and websites.
- Incorporate a chapter on VNRBDs in the teaching curriculum in colleges and
universities.
- Create “Club 25 donors’ club” in colleges and universities.
• IRCS, Ahmedabad has Mission 25/25; Centurion Blood Donors’ Club, Women
Blood Donors’ Club and Handicapped Blood Donors’ Club.
- Create a post of District Voluntary Blood Donation Officer in civil administration
and/or health department.
- Involve public organizations such as cyclists and bikers’ clubs
13. COMMON GAPS AND OPPORTUNITIES
2. Management of dropouts:
- Many persons after blood donation for the first time do not come
again to donate blood? WHY?
o Lack of time and communication.
o Unfavourable location or time of blood donation.
o Unhappy experience.
o Donor reaction at the time of blood donation.
o Non-availability of blood in time of his/her need.
o Failure to appreciate the efforts of blood donors.
o Impression that blood is being mis-utilized.
14. COMMON GAPS AND OPPORTUNITIES
3. Retain blood donors by establishment of regular contacts with them for constant
engagement:
- Thank donors for the present blood donation using WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter
and reinforce existing contacts with donors using SMS and emails.
- Remind donors of the next blood donation using WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and
reinforce existing contacts with donors using SMS and emails.
