Voluntary blood donation in Belgrade is in full swing today, but do we really appreciate those who save lives every day? Citizens eager to help can donate blood at several locations, including the Institute of Blood Transfusion of Serbia at Svetog Save 39, open from 7 AM to 7 PM on weekdays, and 8 AM to 3 PM on weekends and holidays. Any healthy adult can be a donor, but only after a medical check-up confirms that donating blood won’t harm either the donor or the recipient.
But how often do we think about these heroes? While Belgrade battles scorching heat and other issues, these quiet lifesavers remain in the shadows. Is society ready to give them more attention and support?
Amid news of violence, trials, and other dramas, voluntary blood donation shines as a bright spot of humanity. So next time you see a call to donate blood, remember it might be your chance to be a hero without a cape. Got a funny or touching blood donation story?
