A two-day blood drive, "SPbPU Donor Day," was held at the Polytech Tower. The event, organized by the university's Department of Social Programs in collaboration with the City Blood Transfusion Station, collected over 44 liters of donated blood to replenish the city's medical supplies.
Students and university staff who met standard medical requirements for donors participated. As usual, volunteers from the Polytechnic University's student teams played an active role in organizing and supporting the event. They registered participants and provided assistance throughout all stages of the event.
133 people participated in the event, 99 of whom successfully donated blood. This allowed them to collect 44.55 liters of blood, as each donor can donate 450 milliliters. Representatives from all SPbPU institutes participated, demonstrating the high level of social responsibility of the Polytechnic University.
Medical specialists ensured full compliance with blood collection procedures and safety requirements. All interested participants were able to pre-register through the university's website or the official social media page.
SPbPU Blood Donor Day brings together people willing to help others. We see how one act of kindness inspires others, building a community of caring individuals. During the event, you especially feel the kindness around you and realize how many people are willing to take a step toward helping others. Over time, you become involved in the process and begin to see donation as an important and necessary part of life. Not only does it help build a vital blood supply for those in need, but it's also beneficial for the donors themselves in terms of health. And you're left with a warm and pleasant feeling from the act—only positive things, noted Diana Grigorieva, director of the event at the Polytech Tower.
