The need for blood donations
Blood donations are commonplace in Germany and are urgently needed every day. However, only around 3% of the population donates blood, which makes it clear that there is a need for action. The importance of these donations is evident not only in operations, but also in the treatment of cancer patients and in emergency situations. The #missingtype campaign aims to raise awareness about the importance of blood donations. The letters of blood groups A, B, AB and 0 are omitted to make it clear that each donation is irreplaceable. Supporters like Sami Khedira and Lena Oberdorf have joined this campaign to mobilize blood donations. Khedira points out that a single donation can save up to three lives.
