Heroes save lives. Voluntary unpaid blood donors are unsung heroes whose gifts of blood save lives every day. Recognizing the contribution of our heroes is the theme of World Blood Donor Day 2012, observed on 14th of June. This map shows the distribution of Hong Kong‘s heroes in our neighbourhood.

As indicated by blood symbols, there are eight donor centres providing blood donation services in different parts of Hong Kong. The pie charts show that donors tend to donate blood in centres located within their region of residence. For example, over three quarters of blood donors living on Hong Kong Island chose to donate blood in Causeway Bay Donor Centre or Central District Donor Centre. As depicted by graduated colours, Shatin District has the largest pool of blood donors in Hong Kong.

Data for the map were obtained from a survey conducted in 2012 by Stanley Ho Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases, the Chinese University of Hong Kong in collaboration with Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service.

為感謝自願無償捐血者的無私奉獻,6月14日已被定為世界捐血者日。捐血救人是英雄行為,而今年(2012) 的世界捐血者日重點向我們鄰居的英雄致意。地圖顯示曾於捐血站捐血的香港居民的分佈。

依圖中血液符號所示,本港現時有八個常設的捐血站,為各地區的捐血者提供服務。圓形圖顯示捐血者傾向於設於他們居住地區附近的捐血站捐血。以港島區的捐血者為例,超過四分之三的捐血者前往銅鑼灣捐血站或中區捐血站捐血。此外,依圖中各區顏色所示,沙田區是本港最多捐血站捐血者居住的地區。

地圖資料源自2012年香港中文大學何鴻燊防治傳染病研究中心與香港紅十字會輸血服務中心合作的一項捐血者調查。

Blood donation 捐血

In Hong Kong, blood donation programme was first introduced by the Red Cross back in 1952. It is a voluntary and non-remunerated service operated through mobile units and donor centres. Since there is no substitution for blood, a large volume of regular blood donors is necessary to ensure self-sufficiency in blood supply in the territory. Giving blood is harmless to the donor. The whole donation process normally consumes only about 10 minutes, and only about 350ml to 450ml blood is taken from the donor each time. The blood collected is separated into various blood components including red blood cells, white cells, platelet and plasma, for different treatment purposes.?

香港紅十字會於1952年推行自願無償捐血計劃。現時由於血液沒有替代品,血液的來源有賴大量定時捐血者,以確保香港有足夠和穩定的血液供應。捐血對身體無害。整個捐血過程只需十分鐘,每次捐出約350至450毫升的血液。所收集的血液會被分成不同的血液成份,包括紅血球、白血球、血小板及血漿,用以支援不同醫療需要。
