The initiative, held periodically at our University, provides an opportunity to reach donors who, for various reasons, cannot come to the Regional Center for Blood Donation and Hemotherapy or its local branches. All those willing to donate blood had to fill in a questionnaire and undergo a routine examination in a specially prepared ambulance in order to detect factors that may contraindicate blood donation. Of the 46 people who signed up for the campaign, blood was collected from 21. - Donating blood is safe and does not harm your own health. Individuals with sufficiently high hemoglobin levels in their blood are qualified for the final blood collection. Thanks to the campaign, MUW employees and students had an excellent opportunity and comfortable conditions to join the community of blood donors," adds Agata Stokłosa, also a coordinator of " Stream of Life" campaign.
The "Stream of Life" is part of the Standing Program on Public Health - SCOPH, implemented by IFMSA. The campaign was co-organized by the Student Self-Government of the Medical University of Warsaw, which handed 25 sweatshirts with the MUW logo as gifts for donors. In addition, each participant received notebooks, and IFMSA volunteers prepared sweet refreshments for the blood donors.
