Cadets of the Border Police of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Directorate for Coordination of Police Bodies, along with staff from the Agency for Education and Professional Training, participated today in a blood donation campaign that our agency has been organizing for many years in collaboration with the Transfusion Centre of the University Clinical Hospital Mostar.

In the campaign that was led by Dr. Martina Pilekić 52 units of blood were collected. Once again, staff from the Transfusion Centre, headed by Dr. Jadranka Knežević, emphasized that blood donation ‘is the noblest act of any individual, which helps save lives and ensures uninterrupted treatment for patients undergoing surgeries or therapies with blood products’.

They highlighted that every 450 ml unit of blood is processed into blood components or therapies for three patients. This fact alone underlines the significance of today's campaign, especially given that the blood supply situation at the University Clinical Hospital Mostar is often variable.

Therefore, they encouraged regular participation in blood donation campaigns and expressed their gratitude to today's donors for their strong turnout.
