Rode Kruis-Vlaanderen

Rode Kruis-Vlaanderen operates a donor center in Bruges and calls on Flemish residents to donate blood or plasma. It also promotes emergency preparedness through initiatives such as asking residents to check AEDs in their neighborhood and selling an emergency kit that became available in retail stores.

Rode Kruis-Vlaanderen opened a donor center in Bruges fifteen years before a September 2026 news item, which reported that the center had 11,374 donors over five years and had become a fixed location for thousands of loyal donors. In September 2026, Rode Kruis-Vlaanderen asked Flemish residents to check AEDs in their neighborhood on World First Aid Day. It also launched an emergency kit to help people prepare for situations in which ordinary services temporarily fail; the first stock sold out within 24 hours of launch, after which the kit became available in retail stores.
