Blood Donation Osnabrück

Dear students!

Also this semester there will be – despite Corona – a blood donation event. This will take place on 26.04.2022 in the OsnabrückHalle. Between 2:30pm – 8pm you can stop by to donate blood. In addition, there is the possibility to register for a stem cell donation. 

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the students who made their way to the OsnabrückHalle during the 2021 summer semester! Together we were able to collect a total of 196 donations. Do you think we can break the record again this semester?

But why are blood donations so important?

Donated blood is used, for example, for therapies for seriously ill patients or in the event of serious accidents. So for many, blood donations are essential for survival, and unfortunately there is no artificial alternative. If too few blood donations are received in a period of about a week, patient care can no longer be guaranteed without gaps. Optimal care for the sick and injured is therefore no longer possible. Donations are therefore indispensable!

And why is stem cell donor typing so important?

Typing serves to find suitable stem cell donors for all those patients who are waiting for a stem cell transplant. Doctors rely on stem cell therapy especially in cases of hematopoiesis disorders.

Blood donation, registration and corona, does it work?

It actually works pretty well! Hygiene standards have always been high anyway. Please book an appointment for your donation in advance. This prevents long waits and queues, which in turn means that all safety standards can be maintained even better.

And who can donate?

Everyone who feels fit and healthy and really is. Those who show the first symptoms (sore throat, chills, cough, shortness of breath) will be put on hold for four weeks and will therefore not be allowed to donate. Anyone with a body temperature above 38°C, anyone who has been in contact with someone who has Covid-19 or anyone who has had the disease themselves (in this case, you must wait at least four weeks after healing before donating) will also be deferred.

So, what are you waiting for?
