How long does it take to become an honorary donor? Benefits for honorary donors of Russia

Donation has always been equated in Russia with an honorable cause, since it is done by selfless and responsible people who are not indifferent to the fate of others. Blood donation is being actively promoted – social advertising is being distributed among young people, students, schoolchildren, calling for blood donation at donor points. Young people are convinced that their help can be invaluable, and that if enough donated blood it will be quite realistic to cope with many serious illnesses and injuries among our compatriots.

Active informing schoolchildren and students is bearing fruit: for recent times the number of voluntary blood and plasma donors has greatly increased, and every year their number is only increasing. This is one of the most illustrative examples of the activity and responsibility of today's youth; and yet many incessantly scold the current generation for the lack of these qualities.

Along with the active expansion of the circle of Russian donors, there is also an increase in the number of honorary donors. Accordingly, this award is no longer so privileged. In this regard, the legislation has changed somewhat - the government has amended the bill regulating the receipt of an honorary badge.

In this article, we will tell you in detail not only about the changes in the legislation on blood and plasma donation, but also about how to get an honorary badge. You will also find out which legal basis now there are mixed blood donors. Especially for novice donors, we will tell you:

what are the requirements for blood donors;
Under what conditions can you donate blood?
what benefits are provided to blood donors on the day of donation.

You will learn all the basic information about blood donation, but the main focus of our article will be on the honorary donor badge: how to become an honorary donor, what privileges this title gives, and so on.

Legal regulation of blood donation

Legislation that regulates the relationship between the donor, the host organization, and the place of work of the volunteer are both Labor Code Russian Federation, and the Federal Law "On donation of blood and its components".

The labor code is involved here primarily because the organization in which the volunteer is employed is obliged to provide him with some privileges at the time of donating blood or its components (plasma, red blood cells, and so on). We will talk in more detail about the privileges that are granted to the donor from his organization a little later.

The federal law regulating the legal status of blood donors prescribes all the requirements for volunteers quite clearly and unambiguously. AT next section article, we will analyze in detail all the requirements that are currently imposed on blood donors.

Who can become a blood donor in the Russian Federation in 2018-2019

The official website of the blood service provides a very convenient algorithm that allows you to determine whether you can become a blood donor in our country. The algorithm is quite simple, but it is extremely difficult to translate it into text form, and it will take too much space. Therefore, we will simply briefly list the main requirements for volunteers.

The most basic requirement is age. Unfortunately, citizens under the age of eighteen cannot become participants in such a program. That is why schoolchildren who receive information about donation are so disappointed when they learn about this requirement. But when they reach adulthood, the desire to become a voluntary donor of blood and its components turns into a completely conscious desire that pushes them to take this important step.
The weight of the volunteer must not be less than fifty kilograms. This is due to a simple concern for the health of Russian citizens. If an adult weighs less than fifty kilograms, then taking such an amount of blood can have an extremely negative effect on his well-being. As a rule, thin citizens are extremely difficult to tolerate even simple blood tests from a vein - what can we say about donation, which involves donating enough a large number blood.
The absence of any chronic diseases affecting the composition of the blood or immune system. This is a perfectly obvious requirement, and there is no need to explain it.
It is necessary that the volunteer never leave our country for the last month. Abroad - especially in such exotic countries as the countries of the African continent, South America, southern Asia, and so on, there is great amount various infections, which our body, which is not adapted to them, is simply not able to transfer. These infections get into the blood and change its composition, and therefore blood service employees are required to make sure that a citizen is not infected with any similar infection. Of course, no one will require any documentary evidence of this fact from you. However, please note that if you have been abroad for last month, then you will have to wait with the delivery of the material. This period is set so that the infection (if any) has time to manifest itself. If, within a month after returning home, a person does not experience any ailments, then everything is in order with his health.
There are some special rules for girls and women. First of all, donating blood depends in part on menstrual cycle. You can not donate blood during menstruation and for five days after. This is due to jumps in hormones and some changes in the composition of the blood, which is accompanied by each menstruation in girls. Therefore, the delivery of material at the blood collection point must be coordinated with your women's calendar. The second "women's" rule concerns young mothers. Within a year after giving birth, you cannot become a voluntary blood donor.

Upon delivery of the material at the collection point, you will receive:

one paid day off from your organization;
free food;
monetary compensation(it must be waived if you want to receive an honorary badge).

Any adult citizen who regularly donates blood can become an honorary donor of Russia. How many times do you need to visit the transfusion station? What benefits and payments are provided for holders of this title in 2016?

Before donating blood, the donor is obliged to notify the medical staff about the diseases transferred to childhood, as well as surgical operations. The donor should also not come into contact with infectious patients before visiting the transfusion station.

The blood transfusion procedure is absolutely safe for the donor, as certified sterile equipment is used. It takes an average of 10 minutes for donating blood and 30 for plasma.

As you know, after donating blood and its components, donors are supposed to be given hot meals and a food kit, which may contain various canned food, cereals, snacks, and so on. However, not so long ago, a decision was made on the possibility of compensation for these products in cash. To do this, it is enough for the donor to write an appropriate application.

Assignment of the title "Honorary Donor"

To receive the badge and all related privileges, the applicant must donate blood and plasma regularly and free of charge. How many times will you visit the station?

40 and more - when donating blood and its components;

Previously, holders of the title of "honorary donor of Russia" had the opportunity to apply to the local social security authority with a request to pay money for previous years when the citizen did not use this right.

How to become an honorary donor

Earn extra money, double your vacation and get benefits for the rest of your life

I gave my first blood at 19 for money. Now I am 27 years old and I am an honorary donor of Russia.

I have donated blood for the last nine years, I have already done this more than 75 times.

Donor blood transfusion will be required for every third person at least once in a lifetime. If there is no spare blood in hospitals, the patient may die.

Donating blood is not painful or scary. You help other people, and the state will thank you. I'll tell you how to become a donor and get bonuses from it.

Who can become a donor

Anyone can become a donor in Russia healthy man over 18 years old. Donation has contraindications:

donors per 1,000 inhabitants is needed to cover the need for donated blood, according to the WHO. In Russia, they are three times less

chronic or contagious diseases;
weight less than 50 kg.

Those who have had the flu, SARS or tonsillitis should temporarily refrain from donating blood. To become a donor after piercings, tattoos, childbirth or surgery, you need to wait 6-12 months.

What is blood donation

Whole blood. At one time, doctors take 450 ml of blood from a vein. Men can donate blood no more than once every two months, women - once every three months.

platelets or plasma. AT modern medicine It is not the whole blood that is needed, but its components: plasma and platelets. When donating, the components are separated from the blood, the rest is returned to the vein along with saline to normalize pressure. Blood components can be taken every 2 weeks. Every 4-6 donations take a break for a month.

If you become a regular donor, you will most often donate blood components. Donate them 10-20 times a year and become an honorary donor in 3-6 years.

Donate blood ahead of time it will not work: all donors are entered in a single register and they simply will not let you in at the transfusion station. Violating the deadline is harmful to health, because the body does not have time to recover.

blood in quarantine

After the first blood donation, she is placed in quarantine for 6 months. During this time, the donor must once again donate blood for examination in order to rule out infection. If this is not done, the blood is disposed of.

You should be called from the blood transfusion station and invited again. But in reality, donors are often forgotten. It is better to come yourself a few months after the first surrender.

Where to donate blood

In some donor centers they accept only by appointment, I advise you to call and clarify. Single help phone donor service: 8 800 333-33-30 .

I advise donating blood at a transfusion station, not in a hospital. Everything is well organized at the station: the offices are nearby, the process is automated, the equipment is modern. Hospitals can be worse.

How to donate blood

Aspirin and analgesics should not be taken three days before the test, and alcohol should not be consumed two days before the test. The day before, it is advised not to eat fatty, spicy and smoked foods, dairy products. Be sure to sleep well and have a light breakfast with sweet tea and something low-fat. Do not smoke before the procedure.

The earlier in the day you donate blood, the easier the body will tolerate the donation. The best time to donate blood is before 11 am. Only experienced donors come to lunch.

What to bring

For the first blood donation at the transfusion station, you need to take a passport and the results of fluorography. Men also need to bring a military ID or registration certificate. From the second donation, only a passport is required.

Present the documents at the transfusion station. Fill out a wellness questionnaire and an application for monetary reimbursement of meals.

For the first time, blood will be taken from a finger to determine the blood type and hemoglobin level. You will be received by a therapist: he will examine you, weigh you, measure your blood pressure and ask about your well-being. Then you will be invited to the procedure room.

In the treatment room donate blood or plasma. It usually takes an hour. If you are asked how you will hand over - manually or automatically - choose manually, it's faster.

Donating blood is not painful. Most likely, you will not feel anything but a slight prick. A lot depends on individual characteristics, sometimes the donor may feel dizzy or nauseous and even lose consciousness. You should not be afraid of this: experienced staff is always ready. In the nine years of donation, I only felt sick once, and that was because I didn't eat breakfast. A couple of times I saw how the girls became ill, but they easily bounced back after airing. If you feel strange, tell the staff right away.

After that, you will be issued a certificate for the employer and will be allowed to go home. In the next couple of days you need to eat well and properly, drink plenty of fluids. It is better to give up physical activity.

Safety

The puncture site of the vein is liberally treated with a disinfectant solution. All instruments are disposable and sterile, they are unpacked right in front of you. With modern donation, it is impossible to get infected.

What do donors need

Additional holidays. After blood donation, the donor is entitled to 1-2 additional days off: a day off with the preservation of the average salary on the day of blood donation, as well as an additional day of rest. These days can be used immediately, or you can transfer them to any other day during the year or add them to your vacation. If you go to work on the day of donation, you have two days off. Important condition- going to work must be agreed with the employer, otherwise the second day of rest will not be given. This is also true if you donated blood before the start of the working day or after it ends. If you donate blood or components several times a year, you can get 6 to 20 extra days off and extend your vacation.

Holidays cannot be reimbursed in cash.

To receive rest days, submit certificates from the donor institution to the accounting department: 401 / y (on medical examination) and 402 / y (on subsidies) or a certificate certified accordingly in any form. Two days of rest will be paid, even if you donated blood on the weekend.

We write about how to make money on donation, elections and old things, how to be treated at the expense of the state, issue a tax deduction and agree with the boss on a salary increase.

Lunch reimbursement. The donor is paid 400-700 R in compensation. Instead, by law, they can provide a free lunch, but I have not seen this.

Discounted vouchers. If you donate blood at least twice, then you can ask for extraordinary preferential vouchers for spa treatment. Vouchers are received at the place of work or study.

1💉 = 2 days off + 400 R

Donation for a fee

A donor can donate blood for money in public or private clinics. But paid donors are not needed everywhere. Usually required rare groups blood. If you want to donate blood for money, call 8 800 333-33-30 and ask where it is accepted. Better yet, to a specific station or donor site.

How to become an honorary donor

To become an honorary donor of Russia, you need to donate blood free of charge 40 times or donate blood with components 60 times. Then the donor fills out an application at the transfusion station, and after a few months receives the main documents: a certificate and an honorary donor badge.

Honorary donors of Russia receive an annual cash payment (in 2017 - 13 000 R). They are served without a queue in public institutions, give a 50% discount on prescription drugs. An honorary donor goes on vacation when he wants to, and not when his employer releases him. In practice, benefits may vary depending on your region.

Donation for a fee is not taken into account in the standards for honorary donation.

Honorary Donor of Moscow

In the capital there is the title of honorary donor of Moscow. The standards here are 20 times to donate blood or 30 times components. Donations must be made at donor centers subordinate to the Moscow City Health Department. They are located at city clinical hospitals Moscow, as well as research institutes and blood transfusion stations.

Honorary Donor of Moscow social card a Muscovite rides public transport for free, receives a 50% discount on utility bills and a 50% discount on payments medicines in city pharmacies.

After receiving the title, you must donate blood at least 3 times or plasma at least 7 times within a year. After receiving an honorary donor of Russia, all the benefits of an honorary donor of Moscow remain.

How to negotiate with an employer

I heard that some employers do not like regular donors: they cost more than ordinary employees.

I didn't have these problems. When I worked at school, I donated blood before school and did not bother anyone. He went to work after the blood donation. At the end of the year, he went on vacation a little earlier due to unused time off.

By law, you may not tell your employer that you want to donate blood. They handed it over, left for the weekend, then brought certificates to the accounting department.

But I always warn: it's more honest and easier. The manager may be dissatisfied: the employee unexpectedly took and arranged a mini-vacation for himself. In order to negotiate with the employer, a few days before the donation, I draw up a free-form application, where I indicate what I plan to do with the days off: whether I will go to work on the day of donation or take a day off.

In my experience and the experience of acquaintances of donors, it is better to negotiate with the manager in advance. Tell them that you are a donor and you are entitled to benefits. Check with your manager and colleagues when your absence will not be so noticeable. Make compromises.

Remember

You can donate blood if you are healthy and weigh more than 50 kg.
For the first change, you will need a passport and fluorography, for men - a military ID.
After the first blood donation, you need to donate blood again within 6 months.
The donor is compensated for food and given 1-2 paid days off.
You can donate blood for money. In 2016, in Moscow they paid 3000 R for 450 ml of blood.
For 60 donations they give the title of "Honorary Donor of Russia", for 30 donations - "Honorary Donor of Moscow". Honorary donors have benefits.
An employer cannot forbid you to become a donor or give you days off, the law is on your side.

A voluntary donor is a person who donates blood for healthcare needs and expects state compensation. For many citizens, donation has become an integral part of life, which is always honorable and in demand in medicine.

For its part, the state is implementing a program of subsidizing and providing material and social benefits for donors. With regular changes in legal regulations, the government always pays close attention to help and support for people who donate blood voluntarily.

The last changes regarding donation were made in 2012. Currently, a citizen who meets the following criteria can be considered a donor:

a donor is considered to be a person who has donated blood at least once;
if by medical indications a person twice a year became a donor;
a citizen who has the status of “honorary donor”.

If a person who donated blood has questions about his position, then you can always get online consultation on our website. Our lawyers will promptly and free of charge give legal advice on the issue of interest to the donor. We will help to deal with officials, all kinds of refusals and obstacles in obtaining the required subsidies and benefits.

A citizen who has fulfilled all the mandatory guidelines and rules can become an honorary donor. In confirmation of his rank, a person receives a badge and a corresponding certificate. It is the assignment of an honorary donor status that will allow in the future to apply for material and social payments. Each interested citizen who meets the following standards can receive the title:

you will need to provide documentary evidence of gratuitous blood donation to the regional ministry of health;
get confirmation for the badge at the Ministry of Health;
Get a validated badge and ID from your local health authority.

In local branches, they directly decide on the issue of conferring a title if a citizen is recognized as an honorary donor back in the USSR. The applicant must be a citizen of the Russian Federation and legally reside in the country. There is a certain feature for counting the amount of donated blood. A person has the legal right to donate for a fee, and each paid case does not count toward honorary donor status.

Episodic blood donation does not allow you to claim a well-deserved status. To become an honorary donor, the following conditions must be met:

the procedure for donating blood must be carried out more than 40 times;
for plasma, it will be necessary to go to the blood transfusion point 60 times;
donation of blood components more than 25 times, taking into account plasma donated 40-60 times, depending on the total composition.

Assistance to privileged categories of citizens is always provided from two sources: federal and local. In the case of donation, the rules are somewhat different from the standard. The citizen receives a support package from the state and the employer, or educational institution in which the student is studying. The largest number conflicts and legal disputes arise between an honorary donor and an entrepreneur if employment occurs at a private enterprise.

The rules manual should provide the donor with additional paid leave, pay compensation according to federal guidelines. All such rules are clearly implemented at state enterprises and budgetary organizations. In the case of IP or legal entities management is trying to get rid of the employee or demands to give up possible benefits.

A complete list of subsidies and benefits can be found after assigning status with the social security authority in the area of residence. You can ask questions of interest to citizens on the official website of social insurance.

An honorary donor is supposed to receive:

annual one-time payment in the amount of more than 12 thousand rubles. To receive funds, you will need to write an appropriate application and attach your eligibility documents;
visit medical organizations and specialists without a queue, upon presentation of a certificate;
preventive recreational activities at the expense of the employer or educational institution;
granting the next vacation at a convenient time for the honorary donor. We must not forget that the right can be exercised before the preparation and approval of the vacation schedule.

To receive medical services and apply for holiday benefits, you must present a certificate. Material funds are transferred to a person upon application and presentation of a passport and a donor certificate.

In addition to federal installations, there is the possibility of providing subsidies and incentives by the local government. The obligation of the authorities to subsidize honorary donors is not legally established, there are only recommendations. That is why many regions are turning social programs, citing budgetary difficulties. Meanwhile, there are regions that provide significant local government support to donors.

The Moscow region is rightfully considered the most prosperous in terms of support for honorary donors. The rules have been created and have been functioning since 2008, while the areas of support are comprehensively expanded every year. That's not complete list benefits provided to honorary donors living in Moscow:

free travel on public city transport;
free dental care, including prosthetics;
50% discount on utility bills;
if necessary, a 50% discount on drugs prescribed by a doctor.

In some cases, subsidies are provided to donors who currently continue to donate blood, already being honorary citizens. Past merits, confirmed by a certificate, do not always allow you to use the entire list of allowable support. For example, it is necessary to provide a certificate of donation of blood and plasma in the reporting year, respectively, three and seven times. Having received the “Honorary Donor of Moscow” badge, you can count on much greater compensation for your activities.

Residents of Moscow previously received regional monetary compensation, but it was canceled in 2017. Muscovites can receive federal funds in the amount of 12,000 rubles due to all donors in the country. Compensation is indexed simultaneously with other social payments and is increased annually. You can receive funds within a year, after the approval and approval of the application.

If the verifiers have doubts about the authenticity of the certificate, then the owner may be required to provide additional documentation confirming the legality of receipt.

Those who donate blood are presented mandatory requirements: weight over 50 kg, age over 18 and passing medical commission. Citizens of the Russian Federation with permanent registration who are not subject to chronic diseases, not having medical prohibitions. After donating blood, the donor receives a voucher for free meals at the specified catering establishment.

According to the previous rules, it was possible to exchange a coupon for money, but at present, citizens are deprived of such an opportunity. According to the calculation, the cost of lunch is 400 rubles, which would not be superfluous for many citizens who donate blood.
