To encourage more young people to donate blood, Sahlgrenska University
Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, sends a text to donors when their blood has
been dispensed to someone in need. A common issue with blood donation—along
with other types of charitable donations—is that if a donor doesn't know the
recipient, it's harder to convince them that donating is beneficial. But
with this system, which started in 2012, potential donors in Sweden have
proof that their contribution is going to good use.
