Ever wondered how often you can donate blood and still be your healthy, heroic self?
In the Philippines, both the Department of Health (DOH) and the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) encourage healthy individuals to donate regularly, because every drop counts in saving lives.
Here’s your ultimate guide to blood donation frequency:
🔴 𝗪𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
✅ Every 𝟯 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 (𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝟭𝟮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀) for males and females
This helps maintain your iron levels and gives your body time to fully replenish red blood cells.
🟡 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
✅ Every 𝟮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀
This type of donation is especially helpful for cancer patients, burn victims, and those with blood disorders.
Why donate regularly?
Because each blood component has a specific shelf life:
Red cells – 35 to 42 days
Platelets – only 5 days!
Plasma – can be frozen up to 1 year
Here are a few quick reminders to help you donate safely and smoothly tomorrow:
✨ The night before:
✔ Eat a healthy dinner
✔ Get enough sleep
🚫 Avoid:
✖ Alcohol within 24 hours
✖ Smoking an hour before and after donating
✖ Strenuous physical activity before donating
🕘 On donation day:
✔ Eat a light meal 1–2 hours before
✔ Drink plenty of water (hydration = smoother donation)
✔ Wear comfortable clothes (sleeves you can roll up)
✔ Bring a valid ID
Your life-saving moment is just around the corner so rest up and get ready for tomorrow’s donation! See you there!.
