It only takes a few minutes, but it means everything to someone

Šimo Marinović from Sveti Jurij ob Ščavnici has donated blood 100 times, marking a significant milestone. He was thanked by the Blood Transfusion Center at UKC Maribor for his long-term dedication and selfless assistance to those in need. Dr. Biserka Dvoršič, head of blood collection processes at the center, noted that while current blood reserves are manageable, there is concern about potential future shortages due to summer holidays reducing donor numbers. The center encourages all healthy individuals who are not on vacation to donate blood, emphasizing the importance of maintaining diverse blood groups to meet varying patient needs. Marinović began donating blood as a teenager in Tuzla and continued doing so in Slovenia, driven primarily by solidarity. Despite a brief pause due to relocation and curiosity, he quickly returned to regular donations. He emphasizes that donating blood takes only a few minutes but can mean everything to someone in need. Eligible donors are healthy individuals aged between 18 and 65 who weigh at least 50 kilograms.

He Donated Blood a Hundredfold - "I Might Have Saved Someone's Life"

Šimo Marinović, 73-letni muškarce, je danes daroval svojo stoto dozo krvi v centru za transfuzijsko medicino UKC Maribor. To je prvič, ko je kri daroval v Tuzli, njegovo domačino, in potem 99-krat v Sloveniji. Marinović, ki je krvodajalstvo pravilno izvajal od leta 1983, opisuje darovanje kot pozitiven občutek in možnost, da je nekomu rešil življenje. Po njegovem mnenju je krvodajanje koristno in ne povzroča negativnih občutkov. Vodja procesa zbiranja krvi Biserka Dvoršič vabi druge krvodajalce, predvsem v poletnih mesecih, da prispejo, ker zaloge krvi ostajajo obvladljive, kljub manjšemu številu darovalcev zaradi počitnik. Marinović je prej postal novi 'vitiza krvodajalstva' in je prejel posebna priznanja.
