🩸 Are whole blood and platelet donations the same thing? They're not.

Blood lasts up to 42 days. 🟡 Platelets last just 5 days. That short shelf life is why the need for platelet donations never stops.

Cancer patients, trauma survivors and people undergoing surgery depend on a fresh supply every week. One donation session can help up to 3 patients.
