Why is donating blood important?
Blood reserves are often in short supply, especially in emergencies or at certain times of the year. Every blood donation can save up to three lives and is essential for operations, the treatment of chronic diseases or after accidents.

With a simple prick and a few minutes of rest, anyone can become a lifesaver. Donating blood is not only an act of charity, but also strengthens the entire healthcare system. At a time when solidarity and a sense of community are particularly in demand, donating blood offers a direct and uncomplicated way to actively take responsibility.

Donation is possible after a week without symptoms if you have a cold and after 4 weeks if you have a flu-like infection with fever or flu.
