Helping is in our blood

47 participants 15 blood donors 2 honorary blood donors 6.8 litres of blood

Surely each one of us knows what feast is on February 14th, but do we all know that on the same day we celebrate World Donor Day? On this day we celebrate not only the love of the two in love, but also the love shown to those most in need.

This year, as part of Donor Day, we decided to donate our most precious gift of life – blood, which, despite the great progress in medicine, has not yet been replaced by any other substance. Blood donation is the greatest proof of human solidarity and love. It is the only medicine that depends on all of us. It is up to us whether it is available or not. By donating blood and plasma, we save lives in danger.

This year's action 'Helping Mum in Blood' is a response to the numerous calls for blood donation, which is always lacking. 47 MAEM employees took part in the action and 15 of them donated blood, including 2 honorary blood donors. In total, we collected 6.8 litres of blood, which we are very happy about. We would like to thank all the participants once again for their commitment and encourage them to donate blood not only as part of an action such as this one. Someone's life may depend on this gesture.

It is enough to be a healthy person aged 18 to 65 and weighing at least 50 kg and pass a pre-donation medical examination to become a blood donor. The whole blood donation procedure takes on average 8 minutes, during which about 10% of the blood supply is taken from the human body, i.e. about 0.5 litre. This is a small percentage of blood, which is replenished very quickly by a healthy body. The myth is that once you donate your blood, you have to do it all the time. Blood donation does not cause increased blood production in the body.
