Lifeguard blood donation: Hubert Bogner and appointments in Urfahr-Umgebung

on November 28th and 29th as well as on December 18, 19 and December 20th, the Urfahr-Umfahrt district has the opportunity to donate blood and thus provide significant help. One of the outstanding personalities in this important mission is Hubert Bogner from Gallneukirchen. The 65-year-old has already donated blood 152 times, which corresponds to a total of almost 70 liters. His commitment has an inspiring story that shows how easy it is to save life.

For Hubert Bogner, the journey of blood donations began during his time at the Bundesheer. "It doesn't hurt and you can simply save lives with it," he says, and encourages others to also invest their time to help. Especially in the cooler season, when many donors are due to colds, the need for healthy blood donors is particularly high. Blood donations are absolutely necessary during serious accidents, vital operations or in the treatment of diseases such as leukemia.

important health check

To donate blood, it is necessary to fill out a questionnaire of the Red Cross. This refers to basic information such as age, size, weight and state of health. Alternatively, digital solutions such as the "My Blood" app are also available, in which the questions can be answered. A doctor then checks the information on site to ensure that the donor is healthy. Healthy people between the ages of 18 and a maximum of 70 years can donate blood. About 450 milliliters of blood are removed from the arm vein each appointment.

The blood donation is not only an act of giving, but also a way to check your own health. During the donation, the blood is tested for various infections such as hepatitis, and important medical information such as blood group and rhesus factor is determined.
