There is such a thing in Zhenjiang Jurong
WeChat group based on platelet donation
More than a hundred donors came together
Warms the city
Every Thursday is the day when platelets are collected at the Jurong Blood Collection and Storage Point at the Blood Station in the center of Zhenjiang, and at 7:30 in the morning, there are already two donors collecting platelets on the blood collection machine, and Zhang Jiejin is one of them.
Since donating platelets in 2018, Zhang Jiejin has donated 51 treatment volumes. A therapeutic amount of platelets usually refers to the amount of platelets transfused in about 300 ml. Now, Zhang Jiejin insists on making an appointment for platelet donation once a month through the blood donation group.
"I hope to pass on this unpaid blood donation cause and let more people join our blood donation team, and I will continue to donate until the age of 60." Zhang Jiejin said.
Speaking of this "red warm current" blood donation exchange group, I have to mention the group leader Liu Jiaping. He participated in unpaid blood donations from 2012, and so far, a total of 15,400 milliliters of blood have been donated, of which 67 platelets have been donated for treatment. In the second half of 2019, he joined forces with some local blood donors to form this unpaid blood donation exchange group based on platelet donation. Now, there are more than 130 members of the group, including doctors and nurses, police security, college students, etc., ranging in age from 20 to 59 years old.
"The people who bring in will also affect other people to come in together, so it is mutual transmission and mutual influence, which I think is very remarkable, I think Jurong Town has great love." 」 Liu Jiaping said.
It is understood that platelet donation requires the use of a blood collection machine to draw part of the blood from the donor's body, and the entire donation process lasts for one and a half hours. The reporter saw on the list of platelet collection appointments at the blood bank that the entire Platelet Collection Day in December was full of appointments by people in the red warm current group.
"In the past, about 380 bags of machine platelets were collected a year, and so far this year, 430 bags have been collected, and the increase in the proportion is still quite considerable." Xu Ping, director of the Jurong Blood Collection and Storage Point at the Zhenjiang Central Blood Station, said.
A warm red current in winter!
