A traditional campaign dedicated to blood donation entitled Valentine's Blood Drop was launched in Slovakia on Monday. The campaign is organised by the Slovak Red Cross in cooperation with the Slovak National Transfusion Service. The event's main goal is to encourage young people to donate blood and attract as many first-time donors as possible.
People aged between 18-60 can join the campaign by donating blood at blood donation centres, in hospitals and in mobile blood donation centres throughout the country. Valentine's Blood Drop will run for five weeks until March 16.
