Blood donation saves lives, and at the Red Cross Society of Moldova, we support and promote voluntary and unpaid blood donation as an act of solidarity and social responsibility. Through our national campaigns, we organize information and awareness events in collaboration with blood transfusion centers to encourage as many people as possible to donate blood regularly. Our program facilitates the donation process and provides support to both donors and recipients, thus contributing to ensuring a safe and constant blood supply for hospitals across the country.
