Spring into
action for mums
BLOOD donors in
Merseysideare being urged to think about new mums, with Mother’s Day
taking place on 18 March 2012. NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) is
appealing for people to give blood this month, with each donation
potentially saving the lives of three adults or seven babies. One of
the biggest uses for blood is to help mothers and babies who suffer
complications during childbirth. It can also be used to help
premature babies, to replace blood lost during surgery and to treat
patients with cancer and blood diseases like leukaemia.
Barbara Blanche, spokesperson for NHSBT, said:- "Everyone will
be thinking about their mum this month. We are asking them to
take it one step further and think about all the new mums, and
babies, who need blood. With Spring here we want existing
donors and those who haven’t given before, to spring into
action and give blood. It really can save and transform the
lives of mums and babies and many other patients."
Anyone wanting to donate for the first time should be aged between
17 to 65, weighing at least 50 kg (7 sto ne 12lbs) and in general good
health. If you’ve donated before, you can start again up to
your 70th birthday and there is no upper age limit for donors who
have donated in the last 2 years.
