All those who wish to join the initiative and learn more about the SAFER project and its results are welcome. It is good to remember that:

• Donating blood is fast, safe, and useful.

• Blood donation stimulates the process of blood cell renewal and increases the body’s defenses.

• 450 ml. donated blood saves three human lives.

• Quantitatively, blood is restored in less than 24 hours. Qualitatively – in three to four weeks. 60 days is the minimum period between two blood donations.

• Rare is the blood group, which is in critical availability at a time of emergency.

After donating blood, everyone gets the opportunity to check the results of the tests using a digital code at www.ncth.bg

If you are a healthy person between the ages of 18 and 65 and have the opportunity to spare about an hour from your hectic everyday life, please come, lend a hand and donate blood. Help a victim of a car crash!
