Flush my blood away

Another sad story that follows the one about Elena Sadikova, Moscow State University student, example that proved that even in Moscow it's impossible to cure leukemia. In Russia we are lacking a bone marrow bank that exists, for example, in the US.

This one is worse: we don't have a united blood bank in this country.

What would this mean?

That only the main clinics have access to city blood banks; or they do have own facilities to collect blood from donors - limited, however. Always limited.
Others just purchase blood and its components from the above mentioned - or from the regions. And then they cover its transportation, conservation and lots of other expenses. Huge money flow. From one budget to another. Mind that most hospitals here are state, not private -  it's just another opportunity for money laundry.

At the same time even the main country clinics do not have facilities to conserve and keep enough amount of blood, that means, that the big part of what has been taken from donors is draining away, literally, to canalization. Sorry, guys, not enough refrigerators and bad planning.

I normally donate blood two to three times per year. Shall I better think of a federal blood bank program rather then waste 1,5 liters of my precious red liquid.
