Blood Donation - Gold Reserve
Each year, nearly five million people in the U.S. need a life saving blood transfusion and 38,000 units of blood are needed daily in this country, according to the National Blood Data Resource Center. Approximately 60 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood, but only 5 percent of those who can, do. Almost 20 percent of non-donors cite ìnever thought about itî as the main reason for not giving. Few people realize that blood has a shelf life of only 42 days or that eligible donors are allowed to give blood every two months (or 56 days). As additional donor restrictions are implemented and the
population ages, the country could lose more and more willing donors, which could cause an
even greater threat to our national blood supply
