Not bad, right?
And this time I will discuss blood donation in Indonesia. Starting from its benefits, to the availability of blood bags.
To get a healthy and strong body, exercise is clearly one of the supporting factors for a person's health. But there is also one thing that is said to be able to make you healthy and prevent various diseases. But it is rarely done by many people, namely "Blood Donation".
"Young blood,
fiery blood"
Eitss .... not young blood, hehehe .... but I want to discuss blood donation. When talking about blood, there are two functions, and among them are important components in the human body, that's why there is something called a blood bank. So, if there is a shortage or need of additional blood, blood can be donated.
On September 17, 75 years ago, the Indonesian Red Cross was formed in this country, and one of its tasks is managing blood availability.
Speaking of blood donation with PMI, I want to ask this to the Steemit community.
Have you ever donated blood?
Hehehe, I know the answer. Some are afraid of needles, some have never done so. In fact, if we donate blood, our blood will not run out, it is actually good for human health. One of them is this, by donating blood, 650 calories in the body are burned.
Don't believe it?
Okay, I will try to explain it again in more detail.
"So what the public should know about the benefits of donating blood is that there are two. One is for the donor himself, the second is for the sick person whose blood is added. For the donor himself, it is clear that our blood is always fresh, always new. Because when our blood is taken, donating blood means that the body forms new blood, so that we are fresher in our lives. In research, it turns out that if someone has high cholesterol, it can collaborate with the serum in the blood. So it can join our blood vessels and form a pro-active. Well, if we can prevent that, we can reduce heart disease".
In fact, blood donation is recommended to be done routinely every 3 months, the blood is renewed, the risk of disease is reduced. Amen.
Well, so if it has been donated, the blood bags are ready to be used for those who need it. But don't worry, the donated blood is processed and washed first. The most important thing is that it is free from 4 viruses, HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and hefacifilys.
If it is safe and guaranteed to be clean, then it is suitable for use.
Almost every day the Indonesian Red Cross receives donors. The donors also come from various ages. Starting from 17 years old, to over 60 years old. But it turns out that the number is still lacking.
According to the standards of the World Health Organization or WHO, blood stock when donating blood must be 2% of the population. When compared to neighboring countries, Malaysia or Singapore, their number of donors has reached 4%.
Wow... wow....
Well, currently in Indonesia the blood stock has not reached 4%. Last year, for example, only 2.5 million blood bags were recorded, or only 1%.
Even though there is a warning every year, our country is still experiencing difficulties with blood stock.
Greetings always compact.
