Blood donation

Blood donation, Blood service

Each year nearly 270 000 bags of blood are donated in Finland. Several patients benefit from a single bag of donated blood, as the blood is separated into red cells, platelets and plasma. Patients receive only the blood component that is required, which makes transfusion therapy safe and effective. Blood donation is a fast and easy way to help others.
