Jakarta, 22 January 2016 – Blood transfusion is the giving of blood to someone from another person or commonly referred to as a donor. Blood for transfusion must come from a donor who is physically and mentally healthy, therefore, before the blood is drawn, the donor must go through a number of tests and be free from various diseases that can be transmitted through blood.

Efforts to meet the availability of blood for health service needs have been carried out by the Indonesian Red Cross through Blood Transfusion Units (UTD) which are spread throughout Indonesia based on assignments by the government as regulated in Government Regulation Number 18 of 1980 concerning Blood Transfusion. However, currently, the Blood Transfusion Unit is also available at the hospital, one of which is the Columbia Asia Hospital, Medan.

We can always fulfill a patient’s request for transfusion even if blood is empty, by finding and calling blood donors, whether voluntary or not.
