Your Small Act, Their Life: Where You Can Donate Blood Today in Serbia
Imagine having the power to save someone’s life, and it doesn’t even take a minute of your time. Yes, you read that right! Voluntary blood donation is available today at multiple locations across Serbia, not just in Belgrade but also in places like Lazarevac, Osečina, and Čukarica.
Where’s the Lifeline?
If you’re in Lazarevac, you can donate blood in Baroševac, Polje D, or at the modular site. New Belgrade offers the old Mercator and a bus at location 1014č, while Osečina has the Braća Nedić educational center. Čukarica isn’t left out — there’s Požeška street near the health center, bus 914č.
Who Can Be a Hero?
Any healthy adult can donate blood, but there are rules. You must weigh at least 50 kg, have a body temperature below 37°C, a pulse between 50 and 100, and blood pressure within certain limits. Hemoglobin must be above 0.38 for men and 0.4 for women. The interval between donations is 3 months for men and 4 months for women.
Shocking Stats!
The average blood donor in Serbia is 38 years old, employed full-time, and has a family. Men make up 73.5% of donors, while women only 26.5%. Is this a reflection of social norms or something else? Either way, women are in the minority, just like in other countries.
Why Does This Matter?
Blood is a precious fluid without which many wouldn’t survive. From traffic accidents to surgeries and chronic disease treatments, blood is essential. And you? Can you spare a little time and become a hero?
Final Thought
You don’t need a superhero cape to save a life. Just be healthy, have a little time, and show up at one of these locations. Your small act means a lot to someone!
Now, while you’re thinking about it, check your pulse and blood pressure — maybe you’re the next big hero! Or if you have a funny excuse why you can’t donate blood, share it in the comments — maybe you’ll make us laugh or inspire us!
This isn’t just a call to action, it’s a call to life.
