The event organised by our company and Kalamata FC, held on Tuesday 16 May 2023 for Bone Marrow Donor Registration in Kalamata and Voluntary Blood Donation, was a great success.<\/p>\n
The event was carried out by the \u201cBlood Donation Department of Kalamata Hospital\u201d, the \u201cArchegono Kyttaro Aimatos\u201d (Blood Stem Cell) association, the \u201cRed Cross\u201d and the \u201cPublic IEK B of Nursing of Kalamata Hospital\u201d.<\/p>\n
This initiative had a twofold purpose: voluntary blood donation, as the need for blood never stops, and the chance to learn about bone marrow donation and register as a donor through a very simple process. Any healthy person aged 18\u201340 can register as a bone marrow donor with an application and a saliva sample, and if they turn out to be a compatible donor, they may be given the chance to save a child from leukaemia through a procedure similar to giving blood.<\/p>\n
Public turnout exceeded every expectation, with people of all ages taking part, which shows the love and support of our fellow citizens for those in need.<\/p>\n
We warmly thank everyone who took part and gave their time as volunteer blood donors and as prospective bone marrow donors.<\/p>\n
The Spourgitis family would also like to thank from the heart everyone who volunteered to support this important initiative: the doctors, nurses, instructors and volunteers of the General Hospital of Kalamata, the \u201cArchegono Kyttaro Aimatos\u201d association, the Kalamata regional branch of the Red Cross and the Public IEK B of Nursing of Kalamata Hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
