Every day, 57,000 transfusions are needed in Brazil, and the supply depends on real people who choose to help. With BloodLink, you can find donation campaigns near you, register as a donor for free, and receive notifications when someone needs your blood type.
Blood can’t be manufactured, has no synthetic substitute, and expires quickly—total blood lasts about 35 days, while platelets can expire in as little as 5 days. That’s why continuous donations matter: each blood donation can help up to four lives, and even blood bags used in collection can produce 3 to 4 components.
Why your donation can be decisive
Accidents, complex heart surgeries, cancer treatments, postpartum complications, sickle cell disease, and severe burns all require timely, compatible blood to save lives.
Simple eligibility and what to expect
Typically, donors are 16 to 69, weigh at least 50 kg, are in good health, and are not in fasting. The donation process takes about 40 minutes in total, including screening, collection, and a short snack break.
