Every day, BloodLink reminds us of a simple truth: “Toda hora, alguém precisa de sangue.” In Brazil, blood is needed continuously because stocks must be replenished. Blood cannot be made or replaced by synthetic options, and it has a limited shelf life—whole blood lasts about 35 days, while platelets can expire in as little as 5 days. With roughly 57 thousand transfusions per day, the demand is real and urgent.
BloodLink connects donors with opportunities and helps people become part of the solution. Each donation can help save up to 4 lives, and blood donation also produces multiple components used for different treatments.
Why your donation matters
From major traffic accidents and heart surgeries to childhood cancer treatment, postpartum hemorrhage, sickle cell disease, and severe burns—patients depend on blood and its components right when time matters most.
Quick eligibility and what to expect
You may be eligible if you’re between 16 and 69 (with parental authorization if under 18), weigh at least 50 kg, are in good health, and are not fasting. The donation itself takes about 40 minutes, with most of that time dedicated to triage and recovery.
