In order to make the donation as smoothly as possible, interested parties should feel healthy on the day of the blood donation, eat and drink enough and bring a photo ID card. After the donation, there is the possibility to fortify yourself with snacks and drinks. The finding is sent by post about 4-5 weeks later, while a blood donation card is issued within 8-10 weeks.
