“…In contrast to previous research performed in Bangladesh with university students (74%), Markos town (52.2%), Mekkele (61%), and Addis Ababa (68%), the vast majority of participants in this study (93.83%) had a positive view of VBD [ 11 , 17 , 18 , 22 ]. Additionally, fewer respondents (71.59%) in this study than in the previous studies carried out in India (90%) and Addis Ababa (100%) expressed a favorable desire to donate blood in the future [ 18 , 23 ].…”

“…Compared to studies done in Jamalpur district (8%), Bangladesh with university students (54%), South India (38.05%), Northern Nigeria (22.6%), and Markos town (16.1%), respondents in this research had a higher record (64.71%) of blood donation [ 11 , 22 , [24] , [25] , [26] ]. When compared to previous studies done in Markos town (4.8%) and Benin (13.9%), the percentage of frequent blood donors among the respondents was very high at 35.92% [ 11 , 19 ].…”

“…On the other hand, a similar proportion of female blood donors was also observed in other countries. 12,26,27 According to Bilal et al, women are more likely to drop out of blood donation when they have limited access to a donation point (distance) or lack encouragement from supervisors at workplaces. 28 An additional limitation is the medical regulation that a woman can only donate blood 4 times a year.…”

the Russia-Ukraine military conflict unfolded just across the eastern border of the European Union. It made everyone realize how important it is to secure blood supplies to health-care units in the event of an armed conflict. This paper presents the principles of functioning of the Military Blood Donation Service and the Military Center for Blood Donation and Hemotherapy in Poland. Methods:The study used data collected in the "Military Blood Bank" information processing system and data from annual reports (2010-2021) sent to the Minister of Health of the Republic of Poland. The reports concerned, among others: demographic data on donors, reasons of permanent disqualifications, numbers of complete and incomplete donations, etc. Results: Since 2005, the number of donors registered in military blood donation centers ranged between 15 and 35 thousand/year. The most dramatic declines in donors were observed in 2010 and 2020. Successful donations accounted for more than 98% of all donations/year (except 2015), and their number varied between 20 and 32 thousand/year. Among the blood donors, men always predominated and the dominant age group (except for 2010) was 25-44 years. The reasons for permanent disqualification have varied over time: their proportions decreased for viral hepatitis and cardiovascular disease, and increased for respiratory and endocrine/ metabolic diseases. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020/2021, these proportions have sometimes been reversed. Discussion: The Military Blood Donation Service has been functioning in Poland for several decades. It is specialized in supplying blood and blood products to the Armed Forces. Unfortunately, it was not possible to refer to the functioning of similar institutions in other countries. Therefore, when evaluating the functioning of Polish military blood donation, we had to rely on numerical values (eg, number of donors/year, donor profile, etc.), which prove a very good organization of blood donation centers. However, it should be noted that, as in other countries, a more active promotion of blood donation in the media is advisable in order to encourage as many young people as possible to donate blood.

Objectives: The main objective of this study was to assess blood donation practice and its associated factors among undergraduate college students in Harari Region, Eastern Ethiopia. Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was employed among 518 college students selected by using a simple random sampling technique. Data was collected using pretested structured self-administered questionnaire. The collected data was entered into Epi-data 3.41 and exported to Statistical Package for Social Science version 22 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regressions were utilized to identify factors associated with blood donation practice. p-Values of 0.05 or less was used to declare statistical significance. Results: In this study, the overall blood donation practice was 35.7% (95% confidence interval: 31.6, 39.8). Students studying health sciences were more likely than non-health sciences students (53.5%) to donate blood. Having positive knowledge about blood donation (adjusted odds ratio = 4.17; 95% confidence interval: 2.50, 6.92), being male (adjusted odds ratio = 0.57; 95% confidence interval: 0.38, 0.87), being student of midwifery department (adjusted odds ratio = 2.16; 95% confidence interval: 1.07, 4.36) and nursing department (adjusted odds ratio = 2.42; 95% confidence interval: 1.18, 4.98) were significantly associated with blood donation practice. Conclusion: Practice of blood donation among college students in the study is relatively low. Knowledge about blood donation, male sex and being a nursing and midwifery student were independently associated with blood donation practice. Therefore, the Regional Health Bureau and Blood Bank in collaboration with college administrators should design and implement appropriate strategies to improve blood donation practice.
