This page is for information related to the Philippines specifically.
The situation now:
Designated blood donations as well as donations of your own blood for yourself are possible in some philippine hospitals, in others not. The law does not forbid this at all, but some hospitals don’t want to do it. However, in any case they may not welcome you in every single one of them – this is what we will change.
What WE do:
Our acting plans:
We are in the process of setting up a team for the Philippines, which will establish the most feasible way to reach our goal, the free choice of blood (and blood donor). This will happen through finding medical partners (hospitals, laboratory chains, private practices etc.), and most importantly, by trying to reduce the need for transfusions in general with clear advises for medical staff in our members‘ living will.
We will write to all clinics and medical laboratories in the Philippines regarding their policies with unvaccinated patients, and will publish the results in our member area (under „Medical partner search„).
If we can not find enough suitable partners, we will have to set up our own chain of places to donate and store blood (blood bank).
We will translate the website to Tagalog soon, in order to tear down the language barrier.
A telegram channel for easy information will be complementing this page here.
You can search for a donor in the member area under „Search for blood donor„. Please don’t write me an email „is there a blood donor with AB+ in Manila?“ – you find the answer yourself under the mentioned link.
What YOU can do:
If you want to join us and help within the team, please contact us.
Spread the word, and most importantly, become a member – because only together we are strong.
Please note that there are NO blood donation stations set up yet, nowhere in the Philippines, as we need medical partners for this purpose first. This will take some time, but we are close. Check back here frequently and subscribe to our newsletter.
One question we often hear is „How much do you pay for my blood?“
We are an NGO and the reward for your blood donation is to know that you will also get uncontaminated blood once you will need it. So no, we don’t pay – we are „members taking care of members“, a community aware of a huge threat to our health – we are not „blood dealers“. We can and will never make a business with your blood. So the label „SafeBlood“ will be a brand you can trust. Other private labs will buy your blood – and sell it to the cosmetic and rejuvenation industry. If you don’t mind, sell it there. If you want to save lives, stick to us.
