To encourage more young people to donate blood, Sahlgrenska University
Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, sends a text to donors when their blood has

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.
