Dear blood donors,

Thank you for your continued willingness to help patients by donating blood, we appreciate it very much. As you know, in the event of a critical shortage of blood supplies, we always turn to you for help. We currently have adequate blood supplies to meet the needs of our patients.

If blood is needed for Ukraine, we will inform you in time and allow you to ask for help.
