Some companies recruit people to donate blood for employees to meet their targets

December 2010 Xinmin Evening News at 14:49 on March 15th

It is the end of the year, and many companies are in urgent need of completing their blood donation quotas. This has allowed some "blood-head" companies that "get people" to sell blood to earn intermediary fees, and take the opportunity to make money. "Blood and wealth." Yesterday, many readers called the 962288 hotline of this newspaper to report that they had received advertisements looking for people to "sell blood." We hope this behavior can be curbed.

Blood donation is “clearly marked”

Reader Mr. Huang called to report that there was such an advertisement posted outside the wall of an Internet cafe on Chengdong Road, Huinan Town, which read, Shanghai public institutions are recruiting part-time workers to donate blood to hospitals for free on behalf of their employees. In fact, what is said to be "free" is actually "paid". The price is clearly marked in the advertisement. 200CC subsidizes nutritional fees at 400 yuan, and 400CC subsidizes nutritional fees at 800 yuan. The company's contact number and QQ number are written on the back.

The reporter immediately contacted the QQ account. During the registration process, the other party asked the reporter to send information such as ID number and name to his mobile phone via text message, and then within a week, blood donors would be organized to go to the hospital to donate blood. They would sometimes find more than 100 people.

The other party said that they will undergo a physical examination before donating blood, and the expenses will be borne by their company. This is a hospital procedure. If you fail the physical examination, you cannot donate blood. After the blood donation is completed, the blood donor takes the blood donation certificate, finds the "informant" specially arranged by the company, and gets the money according to the "price" on the advertisement.

The other party revealed that the nutrition cost was paid by the company entrusted to find blood donors. They are looking for "blood donors" to fill the quota on behalf of units that have not completed their blood donation quotas. When the reporter asked which units had such "demand", the other party was silent at first, and then replied that this could not be disclosed.

The act of "blood head" is illegal

Free blood donation has become a blatant "paid blood sale". Is this phenomenon illegal? The reporter consulted lawyer Lian Yanjie of Xinhua Law Firm.

He said that first of all, legally speaking, illegal blood trading is prohibited in our country. The behavior of the "Bloodhead" company involves selling blood to earn agency fees, which is quite egregious and is illegal.

In addition, those enterprises and institutions that find "blood head" companies to complete their year-end blood donation quotas also have problems of their own. At present, some companies need to pay a certain amount of fees to the blood station if they fail to complete the blood donation quota. Therefore, some companies have come up with this "unscrupulous trick", paying a small intermediary fee to the blood head company and finding someone to impersonate them. This is how you get through.

The reporter called the blood center, and relevant personnel stated that the city currently strictly adopts the form of voluntary blood donation, and any paid blood donation is not allowed.
