Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Today, the National Blood Center in collaboration with the JCI Capital organized a ceremony to award the most active blood donors and celebrated the very first Blood Gifting Day. From now on, the Blood Gifting Day will be observed every year on January 3.

Only one percent of the total population of Mongolia has donated blood. The National Blood Center has been awarding titles “Bronze Donor” to donors who donated more than 70 times, “Silver Donor” to those who donated more than a hundred times and “Golden Donor” to those who donated 150 or more times.

The people, who donated blood for 10-20 times also received Pride-10 and Pride-20 awards.

Ms. Erdenechuluun Davaa became today the first female winner of the Golden Donor title, having gifted blood and blood plasma 154 times since 1996.

What’s more, the number of people donating blood has increased from 15 thousand in 2012 to 25 thousand in 2016, according to the speech of N.Erdenebayar, director of the National Blood Center.

“With the commissioning of a new building and equipment, the blood stock level has been elevated by 3-5 times in 2016. We now have full capacity to achieve a sufficient level of blood stock. In spite of all scientific achievements, it is still impossible to generate blood artificially, therefore, enhancing the vital importance of blood donors”, he noted.
