Voluntary blood donation isn’t just a nice thing to do — it’s a fight for life! While many sit around waiting to need blood, heroes donate every day and save lives. Today, July 14th, citizens can donate at several locations, and the Serbian Blood Transfusion Institute at Svetog Save 39 is open from 7 AM to 7 PM on weekdays, and 8 AM to 3 PM on weekends and holidays. Any healthy adult can donate, but only if a medical check confirms it’s safe for both donor and recipient.
But let’s be real — how many of us actually think about this? While the emergency services responded 84 times overnight, helping 22 intoxicated people, blood donations are still too low. People complain about the heat, the lines, the fear of needles, but forget that donating blood literally saves lives.
Imagine this — one donor can save up to three lives! Yet many act like it’s not their problem. While the streets deal with alcohol and accidents, the Blood Transfusion Institute waits and hopes for heroes to show up.
This isn’t just a call to action, it’s a smackdown to everyone who thinks blood donation doesn’t matter. If you’re healthy, between 18 and 65, and not scared of needles, why not be a hero today? Or will you wait until you or someone close to you needs it?
And yes, emergency services are busy, but that’s no excuse not to get involved. While some fight the consequences of bad choices, you can be part of the solution. So if you’ve read this far, maybe it’s time to ask yourself — are you ready to be a hero or just a bystander?
Now, drop a comment — have you ever donated blood? Or are you just watching? Let the debate begin!
