Latvian Railway Keeps the Tradition – Movement of Donors
Traditional Blood Donors Day was held on March 12 in Railway Health Centre. More than 60 people took part in this activity in the previous year. Besides, not only employees from Latvian Railway departments joined the activity, but also employees of Ministry of Transport and other companies related to Latvian Railway were involved.
Donors still are required and therefore employees of Latvian Railway take part in this movement. Healthy man can donor his blood four- five times a year with a two-month interval between blood giving. After giving the blood donors receive money for lunch. Blood donors are granted with free day upon approval of employer with average daily fee kept.
