Providing enough blood for hospitals and vulnerable patients is a challenge during the coronavirus pandemic. The Blood Donation Unit of Uniklinik RWTH Aachen thus depends on the support of the population to ensure the supply of safe blood products in these difficult times. Until April 24, 2020, blood drives will continue to take place exclusively at the Sparkassenforum of the SuperC, Templergraben 57. Donations can be made on weekdays between 11:30am to 5pm. Uniklinik would like to point out that there will be no blood donation appointments at the University Hospital or other external locations until further notice.
Further information on restrictions for blood donors is available at www.wir-teilen-blut.de (de). Generally, the following rules apply: Those who would like to donate blood should feel healthy and well, those who feel ill are advised to stay at home. Dates can be arranged using the BALU+ blood donation app, so as to avoid waiting periods. Of course, donors can also come by at any time without arranging an appointment beforehand.
