of all typesof all typesBlood donation allows you to give all blood components—red cells, plasma, and platelets—at the same time, in just 10 minutes. This is the most common type of donation. Upon arrival, the team welcomes you and checks your identity. You will be given a pre-donation questionnaire to complete before your medical interview, which helps ensure your safety and that of the recipients. The blood donation is performed lying down and under supervision. The collected volume, between 420 and 480 ml, varies according to the donor's weight and height. After your donation, take the time to enjoy a snack with other donors and volunteers, and to relax under the watchful eye of the medical team.
