Do not drink alcohol 48 hours in advance, do not smoke 2 hours in advance, exclude spicy, fatty and smoked food and dairy products 24 hours before delivery.
Also Anapiya Makpal doctor of the Donor Personnel Department and Zhusupova Gulmira manager of the Public Relations Department of the Research and Production Center tried to dispel many myths surrounding the topic of donation. Despite the increasing awareness of the population, understanding of the importance of blood donation, information about the benefits of the procedure, there are still certain problems due to prejudices.
According to statistics, more than 400 thousand blood transfusion procedures are conducted annually in Kazakhstan, and more than 200 thousand people donate blood. 100 citizens have been awarded the title of "Honorary Donor", which means that they have donated blood more than 40 times.

A blood donation campaign was held at the university's simulation center, and more than 100 people took the opportunity to help others. The action
