Hirosaki Blood Donation Room CoCoSA (Hirosaki City Ekimae Town, TEL 0172-39-7711) is currently holding a "Thank you Heisei!

It was planned to increase the number of blood donors. Donating ingredients by April 30 after the end of "Heisei", and after the new era "Rewa" is enforced, if you donate ingredients again in May, you will be presented with a confection that hit the Heisei era ..

The director, Issei Tsuji, smiles, saying, “It was the first time for us to do this in Japan. "On April 2, the day after the era was announced, there were a lot of blood donors on Saturday and Sunday, and there was a reaction," he said.

Unlike whole blood donation, component blood donation can be donated again after 2 weeks for both men and women. According to Tsuji, "only the plasma (kesho) and platelets are taken out of the blood, and the blood is returned to the donor, "there is little burden on the body and a lot of plasma and platelets can be provided".

Yuki Kuruma, a resident of Hirosaki who had come to donate blood, said, "I didn't know about the campaign, but few people donate blood and some people are surprised to tell me what they are doing on a regular basis. It would be nice if the campaign raised interest."

The acceptance time for the component blood donation is from 9:30 to 11:50, from 14:00 to 16:20. The same campaign is being conducted at the Aomori Blood Donation Room (Nagashima, Aomori City).
