The Philippine Red Cross on Thursday, Sept. 16, said that the processing fees for the blood it collects through its facilities are dictated by the government through the Department of Health .

Citing information from the website of the DOH, PRC stated: “While donated blood is free, there are significant costs associated with collecting, testing, preparing, components, labeling, storing and shipping, recruiting and educating donors, and quality assurance. As a result, processing fees are charged to recover costs. Processing fees for individual blood components vary considerably.”

“The processing fees collected for blood are ploughed back into the program to continue to provide blood services to others in need,” Gordon added. The PRC conducts numerous blood-letting events wherein “selfless individuals” donate blood to help their fellow countrymen.
