To avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, the JRC works with national and local governments to maintain blood establishments with effective screening capabilities and strives to disseminate and popularise the concept of blood donation. In 1982, a transition was made to a genuine blood donation system based on the principle of voluntary and unpaid blood donation. Today, the blood transfusion program operates reliably and efficiently through collection and distribution points whose operation is strictly in accordance with the relevant laws (for example, . B to ensure the quality, efficacy and safety of products, including pharmaceuticals and medical devices). Since 1978, the JRC has received blood aid from sister Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, mainly in the Asian region. The JRC will continue its efforts to improve the safety of blood products and ensure a stable blood supply. In order to create an efficient and effective business plan for the future and to implement stable and sustainable grant programmes, the JRC launched in April 2013 a large-scale supply and demand management system that goes beyond prefectural boundaries while centralising its finances. Thanks to generous donations, the Japanese Red Cross is able to deliver blood products to medical facilities across the country. Make sure you are prepared when donating blood. Enjoy a light meal and plenty to drink.
Bring your Red Cross donor card (optional), driver`s license or two other identification documents. Also bring the names of the medications you are currently taking. NOTE: Double blood donation only accepts blood groups A-, B-, O+ and O-. Step 3- Fill in the required information and click Next.

In 1952, the Tokyo Blood Bank of the Japanese Red Cross was founded and the blood program began. It was mainly a blood deposition system that paid special attention to donors; they would be placed on a priority list for blood transfusions in the future. The concept of unpaid blood donations was unusual at the time. Instead, the practice of paid blood donations initiated by private blood banks was widespread. As a result, there have been numerous incidents of patients developing hepatitis after transfusion after being infected with blood products taken from paid donors who had unhealthy lifestyle habits.
Infected blood taken from paid donors has turned into a social problem called “yellow blood.” Blood transfusion plays an important role in the treatment of malignant neoplasms (cancer), hematological diseases and other diseases. Blood cannot yet be produced by artificial processes. Blood collected through voluntary and free donations from healthy people saves the lives of countless patients every day. Step 1- Please select the next blood drive and select an appointment. In addition, between 1995 and 2017, a total of 8 meetings of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Symposium on the Blood Programme in the Asia Region were organized to contribute to the continued development and cooperation of the Blood Programme in the region by sharing the current situation and challenges in each country`s blood projects. with particular emphasis on the technical aspects of the representatives. The symposia were jointly sponsored by the Japanese Red Cross and the Thai Red Cross. Many leaders responsible for the blood program in the Asian region received this training in Japan, and it contributed to the development of the blood program in each country and the formation of networks in the region. To carry out a blood donation campaign, high-performing volunteers are needed to help in various areas.

The American Red Cross is pleased to introduce RapidPass, a new tool that helps blood donors save lives in less time. RapidPass offers donors the ability to answer their questions online from the comfort of their home or office before reading and donating, reducing the time they spend on blood drives by up to 15 minutes. www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=UNCG Suring a stable supply to blood donors is a major challenge that needs to be addressed quickly. In order to better understand blood donation and thus increase the number of donors, especially among the younger generation, which will be an important pillar of the future blood donation movement, the JRC is working on the implementation of various measures. These serve to attract more blood donors among the younger generation, increase the number of companies and organizations involved in group blood donations, and increase the number of people who donate multiplely. Important information to keep in mind: • RapidPass cannot be completed before the date of travel.
The donor must complete the steps to exchange their passport on the day of the donation. • Donors can fill RapidPass with a desktop, laptop or mobile phone• RapidPass is not a substitute for appointments. It is only used to complete the questionnaire before reading and before making a donation before an appointment. • Donors must print their passport or email the PDF and show it on their mobile device when they come to donate. Donors who do not provide the passport will be asked to complete the questions. To those considering donating blood in Japan: Thank you for your support and kind consideration. In accordance with the blood donation policy and for safety reasons related to the person donating blood, we are required to ask you to complete a mandatory pre-questionnaire in Japanese and ask a certified doctor to perform a preliminary medical examination for blood donation in Japanese. Both stages take place on site at one of our blood donation facilities. For this reason, we cannot accept donations from people who do not understand and cannot respond to Japanese. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. The CCR creates blood donation spaces that meet the needs of the local community. For example, some donation centres have a child-friendly waiting room to encourage parents to contribute.
Some centers are also being restructured to accommodate more people without compromising the comfort or safety of each patient. The latter is a factor to which the JRC pays particular attention. To ensure the safety of blood products, the JRC implements various safety measures. Examples of primary safety measures that have been implemented so far include donor identification, retrospective studies, retention of fresh frozen plasma deposits, improved accuracy of nucleic acid amplification (NAT) tests, removal of leukocytes, and diversion of blood collected prior to storage. In addition, the JRC is currently considering the introduction of techniques to reduce infectious agents and measures to prevent transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), a serious side effect after transfusion. In 2006, a compensation system was introduced for blood donors affected by the blood donation process. If a donor requires a medical examination at a medical facility as a result of subcutaneous bleeding, nerve damage or other injuries to their well-being (side effects caused by blood donations) caused during the donation process, they are entitled to a fixed financial compensation. Blood donation campaigns take place from 8:30 a.m. .m to 6:30 p.m.m in the Cone Ballroom. Greeters – Responsible for the registration process for volunteers.
Make sure all volunteers sign up and go out and create a name tag. Monitor the new temperature monitoring station. Canteen – Make sure all donors take a seat and have something to eat and drink after the donation. If necessary, help donors find drinks while they donate For any questions, contact Kathleen McGirty at [email protected] Volunteers can sign up for more than one time slot. If you want to sign up for more than one niche, make sure you can meet your commitment. We also offer technical training to countries that wish to participate, including training in the development of monoclonal antibody-producing cells.
