Rette Life in Bad Frankenhausen: Blood donation date on November 7th!

Bahnhofstr. 5, 06567 Bad Frankenhausen, Deutschland - On November 7, 2024, an important blood donation campaign by the Institute for Transfusion Medicine Suhl will take place in Bad Frankenhausen. This opportunity not only offers the opportunity to actively help, but also to become part of a special community. The blood donation team is on site in the children's and youth center Domizil at Bahnhofstrasse 5 from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The importance of donations cannot be assessed highly enough. According to the Institute for Transfusion Medicine Suhl, an estimated 80 percent of the population rely on blood transfusions in the course of their lives. This is in stark contrast to the small number of active blood donors. In addition, demographic change has already started to reduce the range of possible donors, which also tightens the situation.

urgent need for blood donation

At the moment there is no artificial alternative to human blood, which is why every donation is of great importance. The duration of a blood donation is only about 30 to 40 minutes - a small effort for a potentially life -saving contribution. In Germany, around 14,000 blood canned goods are needed every day to cover the need.

The need is particularly high in Thuringia: About 350 blood sorves are required every day. It is interesting to mention that only about three percent of the population regularly donates blood, although experts estimate that around 33 percent would be willing to do so. Men can donate up to four times up to four times within twelve months.

The upcoming action in Bad Frankenhausen is therefore a valuable way to actively work for the health of others. If you are interested, you are asked to report in the Domizil children's and youth center and to get to the blood donation. Each individual contribution can have an enormous impact on the life of another person. Further information can be found on the website of the Institute for Transfusion Medicine Suhl and are explained in detail there.
