Sustainable safe blood supply is of utmost importance in a health care system. In Hong Kong, blood donation is administered by the Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service, operative under the Hospital Authority. There are 7 blood donor centres, 5 of which are open on both weekdays as well as weekends and Sundays. The map shows the residence locations by District Council Constituency Area (DCCA) of 415 donors giving blood on a Sunday. While most of the donors were living in the vicinity of the Shatin and Tsuen Wan donor centre, a highest proportion (35%) gave blood at the Mongkok donor centre.

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。
