It’s in your blood
Our most well-known activity is the recruitment of blood donors. We carry out this activity in cooperation with the Hungarian National Blood Transfusion Service. We need to recruit around 1 800 blood donors daily to provide safe blood supply for surgeries, for casualties, and for the treatment of patients in need of blood products and transfusion.
With a single donation you can save up to three patients. From the blood drawn plasma products, red blood cell concentration and plaque concentration are prepared.
Blood donations also have a positive impact on the donors’ health. You will find out your own blood type, but the obligatory screening tests also reveal positive results for HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and Syphilis as well.
In 2019:
- 9 860 blood donation events
- 377 042 blood donors
- 1 131 126 saved lives
You can be a blood donor if:
- you feel healthy
- you have all the documents and data required for the registration
- you are aged between 18 and 65
- you weigh at least 50 kg
- tattoos and piercings are not a problem if you got them at least half a year ago
- during the medical examination prior to the blood donation the doctor allows you to donate blood
Required documents for blood donation:
- residence card
- ID card or a driver’s license with a photo
- Social Security Number (the original card or a copy of the card is needed the first time, afterwards, any document, medical record containing the Social Security Number, or the word of the donor can be accepted)
