More young blood donors in Greece
Published
Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis described the increase in the number of blood donors aged 18 to 25 as "extremely important." His statement concerns the progress that has been made in blood donation in the country in recent years.
According to the minister, Greece has taken very significant steps in the field of blood donation. As a result, blood provided for transfusions, as well as its derivatives, is now safer for patients.
The participation of young people is particularly important, because blood is constantly needed in hospitals. It is essential for surgical operations, for injured people and for patients with chronic conditions. Those who become regular blood donors can continue to contribute for many years.
Blood donation is a voluntary act. Anyone who wishes to become a blood donor can contact a hospital or a blood donation centre in their area. The increase in young donors shows that more and more citizens are taking part in this important contribution to public health.
