• The Jamaican and Caribbean communities are being urged to step-forward as the next generation of blood donors in a drive to boost life-saving supplies.
• NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) wants to recruit 7,000 new donors from these communities by 2020
• 1,000 new donors over the next year
• 7,000 over the next five years
The Challenge
![Page 5: ONE LOVE ONE BLOOD SAVES LIVES Dapo Odumeru PhD Founder – Blood for Life Regional QA Manager – NHSBT BLOOD FOR LIFE](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56649ea45503460f94ba91f5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
CAN YOU DONATE? (MYTHS)
“I could die as a result of donation”
“I might catch something”
“You don’t want my blood”
“You experiment on our blood”
“It hurts”!
“I ALWAYS faint”!
“I smoke and drink alcohol”

• Donations of rare blood types are more common among black communities. Specific blood groups, like U negative, only found amongst people of Jamaican and Caribbean descent.
• Conditions like Sickle Cell Anaemia that require regular blood transfusions are more prevalent amongst people of Jamaican and Caribbean descent.
• Sickle cell anaemia is an inherited genetic condition which is prevalent among Jamaican and Caribbean and mixed-race people
Why Jamaican and Caribbean Donors

• People from the same ethnic backgrounds often share the same blood types, so recruiting more Jamaican and Caribbean donors helps to collect enough of each blood group
• Blood is needed every three seconds to save or improve lives yet only one percent of blood donors are from our community
Why Jamaican and Caribbean Donors
