Erneut fünf Sterne für das Herz- und Diabeteszentrum NRW, Bad Oeynhausen
The Heart and Diabetes Center NRW in Bad Oeynhausen has once again been awarded five stars in the transparency ranking of the Federal Association of Clinical Diabetes Facilities (BVKD)—a top distinction achieved by only 19 out of 91 clinics. Under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Susanne Reger-Tan, the Clinic for Diabetology and Endocrinology stands for excellent care and the highest quality standards in the treatment of diabetes and its complications. This recognition highlights the outstanding work of the team while also driving the continued advancement of modern diabetes care.
Donate blood at Ruhr University
In everyday life, we rely on the healthcare system to function: cancer patients receive life-saving treatments, and accident victims get the blood transfusions they need. Extreme heat or cold, holidays, public vacations, and major sporting events regularly reduce the number of blood donations. At the same time, demand in hospitals fluctuates. This repeatedly leads to shortages in the blood supply. There is no artificial substitute for blood. Only donors can help. Donating blood at RUB is very easy: the German Red Cross regularly visits the Mensa building.
