Abstract

ABSTRACT Indonesia produces 1.7 million blood bags per year. This figure is still below the total need for blood in Indonesia, which is 4.8 – 5 million bags of blood per year or 2% of the total population of Indonesia. There are still many people who are not willing to become donors because they are not motivated and do not know the health benefits of blood donation. If the need for blood has been fulfilled, there will be no patient delays in surgery or minimizing the failure of the operation so that the patient's soul can be saved.
