My wife would love to donate but sadly she isn’t allowed to because she grew up in Britain. I know it has something to do with mad cow’s disease but not sure on the specifics.
They really need to get closer to people again. Like I used to donate at work, meaning I didn’t need to go anywhere, just the right meeting room.

70% of all people need a blood transfusion at some point in their life. Only 3% of all people donate at least once in their life.
If you are medically cleared to donate, you really have no excuse not to do it.
I should look into it again, what else am I gonna do with all this blood, just keep it in the fridge??
They should make it more accessible though.
There’s no donation centre in Antwerp city centre. It would take me more than 30 minutes one way to get to UZA.
The [booking portal](https://donorportaal.rodekruis.be/Schedule/SiteSearch.aspx) is also horrible on mobile.
