Kaluga Regional Children’s Library held an educational hour about donation

The conversation "A drop of blood will save a life" at the Kaluga Regional Children's Library was held as part of the All-Russian campaign #CulturalDonorCode #CultureForDonation, organized by the Coordinating Council for Donation and Blood at the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation, the Federal Medical-Biological Agency of Russia and the National Health Fund.

Children from the Kaluga social rehabilitation center for minors "Nadezhda" and young Cossacks met in the library with the head physician of the regional blood transfusion station Vyacheslav Andrianov. He told who can become a blood donor, what qualities such a person should have. He especially noted that donating blood is completely safe and even useful, not only for other people who need a transfusion, but also for the donor himself, as this triggers a renewal mechanism in the body. Vyacheslav Pavlovich also answered numerous questions from children who were interested in how blood is stored and transfused, what is the benefit of donation.

“Such events are very important for our Blood Service, because children are our future, they will grow up and, perhaps, someone will decide to become a donor and help people, because the foundations of mercy must be laid from childhood” - Vyacheslav Andrianov.

The librarian Nadezhda Gavrikova interested the children with a story about the importance of being healthy and helping people, who are donors and what important work they do. And at the end of the meeting, the schoolchildren watched an exciting cartoon about how to properly donate blood and learned many interesting facts about donation.
