Since Blood Donation Is Free Why Is It Still Purchased In Hospitals by osajojo(m): 9:02pm On Aug 08, 2012
I really do need a number of opinions regarding this issue. We have continued to see enormous campaigned urging persons to donate blood as recently exemplified by the minister of health. What I find terrible is why blood is still very expensive @ the hospitals. Since they get this blood for free why don't they dispense it free. Its for this single reason I haven't donated blood because my reservations makes me feel its a scam. Let's know what you all think or if there's something am not understanding.

My own take on this.

From the point of collection the blood has to be preserved. The cost of preserving the blood is a little high.

Am a four time blood donor and i love donating to save life
