Donate blood - donate life! 10-April-2025
Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication (FEEC) in cooperation with the Students for Students (SPS) and University Hospital Brno prepared the second year of the blood donation at our faculty.
Just a few minutes of your time and you can save several human lives. The transfusion team from University Hospital Brno will be ready to collect blood directly in our premises on Technická 10 in front of Prof. Kalendovský Aula on April 10 between 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
Donating blood is safe, simple and above all extremely necessary. Blood supplies in hospitals are often insufficient and every donor is therefore very valuable.
So come on in and join us! Let's show that there are not only great professionals at FEEC, but also people with big hearts.
1. But first, please make sure you meet the donor criteria: The University Hospital Brno - Blood Donation (fnbrno.cz)

A. an insurance card of an insured person residing in the Czech Republic - with "full care" marked on it.
or
B. an insurance card of an insured person residing in the Czech Republic - with the scope of "medically necessary care" marked.
E.g. VZP Pojištění EXCLUSIVE / Foreigners' Comprehensive Medical Insurance EXCLUSIVE.
3. Make sure you have not lived in countries at risk.
Blue areas in the table - one month delay in donation after leaving the territory (e.g. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan).
Red areas listed in the table - 6 months postponement of donation after leaving the territory (e.g. Argentina, Botswana, Dominican Republic, Vietnam).
Return from the malarial area
- you have visited a malarious area and have been symptom-free - you can only donate blood 6 months after leaving the area.
- you had a fever during your visit or within six months of visiting an endemic area - you can donate blood 3 years after your symptoms have disappeared.
- if you were born in a malarious area and lived there for the first five years of your life - you can donate blood 3 years after your last visit to a malarious area (e.g. students from Brazil, India or Nepal).
4. So, if you have the right insurance, meet the criteria of a blood donor, you have checked your deferral time after returning from a malarial area or exotic country, register for one of the times listed.
