Blood donation campaign 2026 at the KTM Motohall

The KTM Motohall and the Blood Donation Service of the Red Cross OÖ cordially invite you to the BLOOD DONATION CAMPAIGN at KTM MOTOHALL on Thursday, March 26, and Friday, March 27, 2016, from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM at KTM Platz 1, Mattighofen.

All healthy individuals aged 18 to 70 can donate blood every 8 weeks. The health questionnaire to be filled out before the blood donation and the subsequent confidential conversation with our doctor serve both the safety of our blood products and the safety of the blood donors. Please bring an official photo ID and your blood donation card with you for the donation. You will receive the lab results approximately 8 weeks later, making the blood donation a small health check for you as well.
