The need for donors in different blood groups varies daily. Follow the situation of your blood group on our website and please come and donate when you receive an invitation from us.
Since there are patients from all blood groups, we need donors from all blood groups. However, the need for donors from different blood groups varies daily. If the patient's blood group is known, he or she is primarily given blood from their own blood group. The blood situation can change rapidly because even just one patient can require several units of blood in one go.
The drops at the bottom of this site tell you which blood group needs blood the most in Finland at the moment. The drops are updated continuously. If you follow the blood supply situation regularly and come to donate at least when you receive an invitation, your valuable gift will help patients best.
See the day's blood supply situation from the blood barometer at the bottom of the site.

Your blood group matters
Is your blood group O-? Your blood group is “emergency blood” that can be given to all patients in case their own blood group has not yet been able to be defined. This blood group is particularly important and your donations are always needed. Please follow the supply situation of your own blood group from the drops at the bottom of the site and come and donate blood at least when you are invited.
Is your blood group A+ or O+? Your blood group is very common in Finland, which is why it is needed a lot in hospitals. Blood from your blood group is always needed. Please follow the supply situation of your own blood group from the drops at the bottom of the site and come and donate blood at least when you receive an invitation.
Is your blood group A-, B- or AB-? Because there are not many donors from the A- blood group, the blood supply situation can quickly deteriorate to a critical level. Blood from your blood group is always needed so please follow the situation of your blood group from the drops at the bottom of the site and come and donate blood at least when you receive an invitation.
Is your blood group B+ or AB+? The need for your blood group varies and can change very quickly, even due to one patient. Please follow the supply situation of your own blood group from the drops at the bottom of the site and come and donate blood at least when you receive an invitation.
