Donating platelets for the first time
Platelet donation may not be as well known as blood and plasma donation, but it’s no less vital to many patients across Québec. The process is very similar to plasma donation, and, just like plasma, platelets can be donated more often than blood.
Do so much with so little.

Platelets donation, a vital gift
Platelets are used to treat various types of cancers, including leukemia, as well as to treat serious injuries and to stop severe hemorrhaging.
Our province’s blood inventory depends entirely on the generosity of our donors.
Donors are the real heroes with no name who don’t think twice before helping others.
Thank you for your generosity!
