What is just a small spade for some people usually means a last chance for rescue for others. Blood transfusions are an essential part of modern medicine. According to DRK information, around 350 preparations are needed every day in MV. In addition to operations, the demand is particularly high in cancer therapy and emergency care for seriously injured people.

Reserves are only enough for a few days

But the sad truth is that, despite a multitude of possibilities, the general willingness to donate is declining across the country – with dramatic consequences: Blood supplies are running out and only last a few days. However, a week would be ideal so that the supply is guaranteed in an emergency, according to the DRK.

In order to counteract this bottleneck, blood can be donated again in Demmin, on Thursday, May 25 between 2 p.m. and 6.30 p.m. in the school at the Tannen, Saarstraße 23. In order to avoid waiting times, the DRK asks you to reserve a desired date in advance.

What should I bring?

There are options for this on the website www.blutspende-leben.de/blutspendetermine or the blood donor app. You must also bring your ID with you to the appointment. Potential donors should drink enough and eat at least a little before the blood is drawn.
