Do you give blood, plasma or platelets?

Donating is something we do for each other. Simply because we care about each other. Because everyone knows someone who one day needs to get red blood cells, blood plasma or platelets.

After childbirth, for example. Because giving life? That can take blood, sweat and tears.

Or after an accident. Then blood can save lives. Even unborn babies sometimes already need blood transfusions.

And in some diseases, blood plasma is vital.

Every day, hundreds of people around us need blood, plasma or platelets. With what are you making a difference for them?

Blood

Then your red blood cells are administered to patients suffering from anemia or who have severe bleeding. For example, in accidents, operations or childbirth.

Plasma

With that, you help people who have severe clotting disorders due to massive blood loss or blood diseases. Or newborn babies with severe jaundice. Your plasma is also used in making medication.

Platelets

This helps people who do not produce enough platelets on their own. These are often patients with malignant blood diseases such as leukemia. Or people receiving radiation or chemo.
