The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, said this at the 2018 World Blood Donors’ Day press briefing in Abuja on Thursday.

Adewole noted that the theme of this year’s campaign is “Blood donation as an act of solidarity” while the slogan is “Be there for someone else. Give blood. Share life.”

The minister said women should donate blood once every four months while men should do so every three months.

He said, “By nature because we don’t menstruate every month, men are supposed to have more blood than women. So, women can donate every four months but men can donate once in three months.”

The minister said there was a need for Nigerians to donate blood freely instead of for money.

Adewole said statistics show that only 10 percent of Nigerians donate blood freely while 60 percent do it for money.

He said the remaining 30 percent of blood donors only gave to relatives in need.

The minister said regular blood donation had many health benefits adding, “Firstly, studies have shown that people who voluntarily donate blood have the likelihood of living longer.
