CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- In the special period of fighting against the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus pneumonia), the number of pedestrians on the street decreased, which had a greater impact on blood donation and recruitment. However, there are still a large number of patients who need blood transfusion.

In recent days, in order to ensure the clinical use of blood, Chongqing Blood Center has innovated the way of publicity and recruitment, and launched a new mode of “door-to-door” blood collection appointment. Blood donors can make an online appointment for blood donation to avoid crowds, and blood donation vehicles can also provide door-to-door services.

In a community near Cuntan, Jiangbei District, Chongqing Blood Center’s emergency blood collection vehicle provided a door-to-door service for free blood donation volunteers to collect plasma at the entrance of the community.

Plasma collected at the community

From February 4, Chongqing Blood Center launched a new “door-to-door” blood collection mode. Citizens can make appointments by phone and WeChat online. For those who meet the requirements for blood donation, the medical staff of Chongqing Blood Center will provide “door-to door” blood collection services at the donor’s home.

The emergency blood collection vehicle was converted from an ordinary commercial vehicle, and the middle row of seats was removed to facilitate blood collection.

After the collected plasma was collected, they immediately rushed to another community where volunteers were located.
