Blood, as the source of life, is an indispensable medical resource with extremely high clinical value.
The demand for blood in clinical medicine is increasing year by year as people's medical needs grow. Currently, at least 600 caring individuals are needed to donate blood every day across the province to basically meet the demand for clinical blood use. In the event of sudden blood loss incidents or major social disasters, the shortage of blood will intensify, requiring more healthy citizens to donate blood voluntarily to help maintain normal clinical blood use.
In order to better repay the blood donors and their families for their "love", Hainan Chengmei Hospital actively implements the "direct exemption" policy for blood use, effectively reducing the medical burden on blood donors and their families. Next, our editor will interpret the core content of the policy in detail.
01
Direct exemption content
1. What is the "direct exemption" policy for blood donation?
The "direct exemption" policy for blood donation refers to a policy that allows voluntary blood donors and their relatives to enjoy direct exemption of blood use fees at medical institutions without the need to pay the fees in advance when using blood in clinical settings.

② The individual who participated in voluntary blood donation outside the province, as well as their parents, spouse, and children.
3. What preferential treatments for blood use can be enjoyed after voluntary blood donation?
When a voluntary blood donor requires clinical blood, if the donated blood volume is less than 1000ml, they are entitled to free use of blood equivalent to three times their total donated blood volume. If the total donated blood volume is 1000ml or more, they are entitled to free blood use for life. When the spouse, parents, or children of a voluntary blood donor require clinical blood, they are eligible to free use of blood equivalent to the total donated blood volume of the donor;
② If the blood donated by a voluntary blood donor is tested as unqualified, the donor, his/her spouse, parents, and children may collectively use an equivalent amount of blood free of charge for clinical purposes;
