5. PT’s blood donating group
PT’s Well-being Responsibles challenge everyone to donate blood for the common good and to participate in the Blood Group of PT!
In Finland, 800 blood donors are needed every weekday so that patients receive the blood products they need. Blood products are needed, for example, to treat surgical patients, accident victims, cancer patients and premature babies. By donating blood, you can save another person’s life. Welcome to be a lifesaver!
The association has its own blood donation group “Prosessiteekkarit ry”, which can be mentioned after the donation. In recent years, PT has earned a Gold Certificate (30 donations), so in 2021 the bar will be set at the highest Platinum level of 50 donations.
In addition, all donors will receive an overalls patch! And fuksi point for every fuksi!
Blood can be donated by appointment for example in Iso Omena, Espoo, Sanomatalo in Helsinki and Kivihaa, Lahti, Tampere, Turku, Kuopio, Seinäjoki, Jyväskylä and Oulu, as well as at blood donation events held across Finland. You can find all the offices here: https://www.bloodservice.fi/blood-donation/donate-blood/where-can-you-donate
