加拿大血液服务局正在敦促加拿大人在2025年节日期间捐血、血浆和小板,因为尽管病人不断需要,但是由于旅行和天气干扰,捐赠率通常会下降。 Canadian Blood Services is urging Canadians to donate blood, plasma, and platelets during the 2025 holiday season, as donation rates typically drop due to travel and weather disruptions, despite ongoing patient needs. 该组织警告说,血液产品易腐烂,不能储存,不断捐赠是必不可少的。 The organization warns that blood products are perishable and cannot be stockpiled, making consistent donations essential. 加拿大西部严寒的冬季天气进一步影响到捐助者的任命。 Severe winter weather in Western Canada has further impacted donor appointments. 捐赠中心在圣诞节前夕和新年前夕继续开放,在一些地区,时间从上午8时至下午2时。 Donation centres remain open on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, with hours from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in some regions. 每项捐赠都能够拯救生命,耗时一小时左右。 Each donation can save lives and takes about an hour. 人们可以在网上、通过GeletBlood应用程序、或通过电话安排预约时间。 People can schedule appointments online, via the GiveBlood app, or by phone. 该小组还管理17至35岁捐助者的国家干细胞登记册。 The group also manages the national stem cell registry for donors aged 17 to 35.
