“Blood donors are rescuers and helpers in need,” said Lord Mayor Frank Nopper, addressing the honorees directly: “Without your blood donation, help in the event of traffic accidents, serious illnesses, even surgical procedures or cancer therapies would often not be possible. So your blood donation helps save lives – in some cases a single blood donation can even save up to three lives. A blood donor is therefore a multiple and multiple lifesaver.”
Together with the Medical Director Beate Luz from the Central Institute for Transfusion Medicine and Blood Donation Service at the Stuttgart Clinic and Professor Jan Steffen Jürgensen, Medical Director and Chairman of the Stuttgart Clinic, Nopper thanked the blood donors. One donor each was honored for 500, 400 and 300 blood donations and 18 donors for 200 blood or plasma donations. 81 donors made their blood available for the 100th time. All donors made their “anniversary donation” in 2022.
