The status of an honorary donor of Russia is given to a person who donated blood or its components a certain number of times on a voluntary basis. He is handed the badge established by the government of the Russian Federation and the corresponding certificate. In 2020, authorities at the national and regional levels continue to motivate citizens to become honorary donors, calling not only for altruistic behavior, but also providing various benefits and payments.
Obtaining Status
The procedure for the development of donation. The rights and obligations of citizens and representatives of authorities are regulated by the Federal Law “On Donation of Blood and Its Components” No. 125 of July 2012. The law prescribes the rules according to which you can get the status of an honorary donor and the badge "Honorary Donor of Russia", and types of incentives from the state.
Blood banks are constantly in short supply, so the government is creating a motivational program to attract donors. At the same time, the World Health Organization calls on all countries to switch to completely free donation of hematoproducts by 2020. In Russia, the accepted social benefits and payments remain. However, it is possible that in the future material subsidies will be replaced with another type of compensation.
An honorary donor in Russia is a citizen who voluntarily and free of charge makes donations of blood and its components. In this case, one of the conditions must be met:
- blood donations were performed at least 40 times;
- blood donated at least 25 and plasma 40 times;
- blood - less than 25, while plasma - more than 60 times;
