Belgian Red Cross-Flanders plans 84 additional moments to give plasma
Belgian Red Cross-Flanders today announces no less than 84 additional opening times for its donor centers to allow as many people as possible to come and donate plasma in particular. With vacation periods approaching such as the Easter vacations, the Ascension weekend, the Whitsun weekend and then the summer vacations - typical periods when people donate less - as well as Belgian Red Cross-Flanders 's effort to collect 5% more plasma on an annual basis, it is important to offer everyone sufficient opportunities to make appointments. Belgian Red Cross-Flanders is therefore pulling out all the stops and planning extra opening hours, especially on Fridays and Saturdays, because every donation counts.
Spread across the 14 donor centers in Aalst, Beringen, Bruges, Brussels, Edegem, Geel, Genk, Ghent, Kortrijk, Leuven, Mechelen, Roeselare, Sint-Niklaas and Turnhout, no less than 84 extra moments are provided in addition to the normal opening hours.
