“BECOME A BLOOD DONOR AND SAVE A LIFE” FIRST DONOR FESTIVAL ‘UPYRIVKA’ IN NATIONAL MEDICAL UNIVERSITY”
On November 16-17, 2015, O.O. Bohomolets National Medical University hosted the First Inter-university festival ‘Upyrivka’. The slogan of this campaign was you’re a doctor! You know why!
Organizers: public organization ‘All-Ukrainian association of medical students and public organization Fresh Blood. Students of O.O. Bohomolets National Medical University, T.Shevchenko National University and Kyiv National Economic University took part in the charitable campaign.
During two days 77 people donated blood. Totally, 35 l of blood and 230 of saved lives.
The idea of Upyrivka is changed and adapted to the Ukrainian realities Polish Vampiriada, a donor project which received a lot of awards in Europe. It is organized in the form of on-site campaigns with special environment. Every meeting consists of two parts: first one is operative during which the donors donate blood. It involves professionals and employees of Kyiv city blood centre. The second one is recreational.
Such campaigns are a social program inviting people to take part in blood donor campaigns. Thousands of people are blood donors and save lives every day. A healthy person can donate blood 7 times a year.
A person donating blood once a year in the age from 18 to 75 years old will save 171 lives!
It is healthy to donate blood; it improves blood formation and extracts the iron excess from the body.
We remind that an 18 year old person without contradictions can become a blood donor.
