Every 60 seconds someone in Canada needs blood
- 1 in 2 people have either required blood and blood products themselves or have a loved one who has needed these life essentials. 1 in 2 people are also eligible to donate blood and plasma, yet only one in 81 does.
- There are over 17.5 million eligible donors in Canada, but less than 4% donate blood or plasma.
- A small group of regular donors currently meets the needs of the entire country, but this is unsustainable.
- With the support of donors, last year Canadian Blood Services issued close to a million blood components to over 700 hospitals across Canada.
- Donating blood and plasma is a simple act that doesn’t take long but can help change a life. Make a powerful human connection while putting your feet up
