In this episode, we will look at the innovative Walking Blood Donor program as a collaborative effort between the Canadian Armed Forces and Canadian Blood Services. This program has revolutionised the way blood is provided to troops deployed in remote and austere environments. Today's guest will take us behind the scenes, explaining how troops are pre-screened and readied to become walking blood donors. We'll delve into the intricate logistics of collecting, processing, and administering whole blood transfusions in the field.
