!!!Blutspendewesen

Blood Donation: In Austria, more than 550,000 blood units were stored 
in 1999 for substitution of red blood cells and plasma. More than 95% 
of these units are provided by the Austrian  Red Cross, where people 
donate blood voluntarily and free of charge. Each blood unit is tested 
several times (e.g. for HIV, hepatitis B and C, etc.). Blood banks 
were set up for the production and storage of blood-based products.
