Press release dated 12/19/2022
In order to be able to supply clinics and practices on a daily basis, the DRK blood donation service in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland needs a continuous number of blood donations. With less blood than needed donated in recent months, important weeks are starting in terms of patient care. Sick and injured people can only be helped with the commitment of donors – because despite modern medicine, blood cannot be produced artificially!

Region. The advantages for every donor: You have a regular health check. Among other things, blood pressure and body temperature are measured. The blood is then tested for infections such as HIV, syphilis or hepatitis.
SPECIAL OFFER: If you come to the appointment as a multiple donor together with a first-time donor, you will receive a high-quality large umbrella as a special gift.
Requirements:
1. Age: 18 to 75 years old (first time donors up to 68 years old)
2. Weight: over 50kg
3. Minimum distance from previous blood donation: 56 days
4. Official identity document (identity card, driving license)
