Shanghai medics join global blood drive
Print Edition
Thirty-two medical workers at Huashan Hospital donated blood yesterday at the Shanghai Blood Center to mark World Blood Donor Day.
Among them, 25 donated blood and seven donated platelets. Almost one-third of the medics are under 30.
Dr Zhang Wenhong, leader of the Shanghai COVID-19 treatment team and director of Huashan Hospital’s infectious disease department, also participated, and encouraged more people to take part, especially young people.
“Medical professionals donating blood is a way of exhibiting that doing so isn’t harmful to healthy people,” he said.
“Blood is important for clinical use, and we want more warm-hearted people to join us.”
Last year, 473,900 units of blood were collected in Shanghai through 330,600 donations.
There are 13.6 blood donors among every 1,000 people in the city.
That figure is higher than the national level.
Young people are the driving force behind blood donations in the city. About 75 percent of last year’s donors were between the ages of 18 and 30, according to the Shanghai Blood Center.
