More than 7,500 volunteer blood donors have come to the blood donations drives organized by "HematoCrete". Our new website offers valid information. The organ donation campaign is intensified in all the prefectures of Crete. "HematoCrete" is awarded by the Municipality of Heraklion for its offer.
The blood units offered have exceeded 15,000. Formal cooperation with the local government and expansion of the blood donation program # we donate together are being developed in more and more Municipalities of Crete with modern tools and methods. 2.599 blood units garhered despite COVID pandemic.
In a year that has tested the resilience of the health system due to COVID pandemia, one thing remains unchanged in our voluntary effort: the need to "give a part of ourselves, so that people may live."
Regular members can become all the voluntary blood donors, organ donors, marrow donors or umbilical cord blood donors who reside or come from Crete.
The regular members make up the General Assembly that is hold once a year or sooner if necessary.
Auxiliary members (friends of the assosiation) can become people who can not donate blood or tissues, due to health issues but wish to help voluntarily.
The association is represented by a 5-member Board of Directors (BoD). Elections for the Board of Directors and the 3-member Audit Committee are held every 2 years. The regular members have the right to vote (symbolic contribution 5 euros per year).
The Board of Directors handles the administrative affairs of the association, including issues of communication and training of volunteers, in collaboration with services, agencies, scientific associates or specialized executives of the association.
Hematocrete's volunteers are the members of the association who participate more actively implementing the programms of HematoCrete, after they have been properly trained. In communication with their team leader they can participate in specific volunteer work, depending on their capabilities and experience.
All the members of HematoCrete must adhere to certain ethical rules such as polite behavior towards volunteer blood donors, fellow volunteers in the assosiation or other organizations and people with whom we work.
