Offsite Donor’s day on Forum «Army – 2018»

On August 24, 2018, during the IV International Military Technical Forum "Army-2018" an action "Donation of Blood" was held, organized by the Russian Engineering Union and the The Federal Biomedical Agency of Russia.

A large number of participants and guests of the forum, including representatives of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, employees from high-tech industry and the defense-industrial complex, came to the mobile blood delivery point of FMBA Russia. Since the first signing of the agreement of the Union with the FMBA of Russia, 59 regional branches of the Russian Engineering Union have joined the program of development of mass voluntary blood donation, more than 3000 events have been held, more than 235 000 people from 618 companies of the engineering industry became donors.

The first vice-president of the Union, the President of the Association "League of Assistance to Defense Enterprises" Vladimir Gutenev during participation in donor events repeatedly underlined the importance and permanent relevance of this socially significant act of people.

Thanks to offsite donor’s events – during which it’s possible to take a part in donorship without visiting the transfusion station, one of the main goals of the state program for volunteer mass and corporate donorship development is successfully implemented.
