State Duma proposes to equate blood donors to volunteers
The State Duma is considering a bill to make blood donation more popular in Russia. According to the press service of the State Duma, the initiative's authors propose equating donors of blood and its components to volunteers. This will allow them to receive the support that volunteers are entitled to.
Among such measures are payment or reimbursement of expenses necessary for implementing volunteer activities, encouragement and rewards for volunteer work, and financial, organizational, informational, consulting, property, and methodological support from authorities.
In addition, student donors will be able to receive a day off, like working citizens, on the day they donate blood and its components and on the day of the associated medical examination.
