The "Donează sânge, fii erou!" team, part of the student organisation of the "Iuliu Hațieganu" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, is organising the national blood donation campaign Fall for life from 9 to 13 November 2026. Donations take place at the Cluj Blood Transfusion Centre, 18 Nicolae Bălcescu Street, Monday to Friday, between 7:30 and 13:30. Volunteers will assist the staff and offer donors small tokens of thanks.
Donors receive meal vouchers worth a total of 280 lei, a certificate for a day off from work or from their school or university, and a 50% discount on public transport passes. Donors can ask for the results of the tests carried out: blood group, Rh, full blood count, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, HTLV and biochemical tests.
Main criteria: age between 18 and 60; weight over 50 kg for women and over 55 kg for men; no chronic illnesses (diabetes, cancer, liver cirrhosis, autoimmune diseases, other infectious diseases); no severe allergies (seasonal, minor ones do not rule you out); no major surgery in the last 6 months, minor surgery in the last 3 months or minor dental work in the last 7 days; no medication (supplements such as vitamin C and zinc are accepted); no tattoos or piercings in the last 6 months; not during menstruation (nor within 5 days before or after); no alcohol or fatty foods in the 48 hours before donating.
