Benefits and awards

Blood donation is voluntary and non-contributory. The blood donor should not be motivated by financial gain. Non-contributory donation is an important criterion for the safety of donated blood.

Our thanks to all blood donors for their donation.

 

HOWEVER, YOU ARE OFFERED BLOOD DONOR BENEFITS EVERY TIME YOU DONATE:

Legal claims:
  • The blood donor is entitled to work leave with pay on the day of the donation. If the blood has not been drawn, the donor is entitled to time off only for the time necessary for the medical examination.
  • He can claim a tax deduction from his employer for each donation.

 

Benefits associated with the blood donation provided by the Hospital Jihlava:
  • Checking blood counts and pressure.
