Last week, with the support of the «Donor Odesa» project and the administration of the Children’s Clinical Hospital No. 3, a large-scale blood donation campaign was organized to assist injured defenders of Ukraine. Medical professionals from the Odesa Regional Blood Transfusion Station facilitated the mobile donations.
Over two days, blood was donated by staff from children's hospitals in the Kyiv and Peresyp districts of Odesa. On the second day, employees from the Primary Health Care Center No. 5 and the Consultative Diagnostic Center No. 29 also participated. In total, around 50 donors contributed, saving dozens of lives.
The need for donated blood has remained extremely high since the onset of the full-scale war. Today, blood is vital for saving both military and civilian patients.
Teams can organize mobile blood donation at their own premises. Here’s how to do it:
1. Assemble a group of 25-50 willing donors. Ensure that potential donors do not have absolute contraindications or temporary restrictions for blood donation.
2. Coordinate a convenient date by calling 0668422387 or messaging via Telegram @donorodesa.
3. Prior to blood donation, adhere to specific dietary restrictions and medication guidelines.

Since the first days of the full-scale war, the «Donor Odesa» project has been actively helping to find blood donors for medical facilities in the city, engaging over 9000 donors during this period.
Current needs for donated blood can be found on the Telegram channel «Donor Odesa», as well as on the channel «Odesa. Official».
