You can also sign up for simple health tests in the RSU lobby at 16 Dzirciema iela to measure your blood pressure, determine blood sugar and cholesterol levels, determine body mass index, check your sleepiness and stress levels, test your vision, and learn about cervical cancer screenings.

The following student interest groups will participate in RSU Health Day:

  • Gynaecology and Obstetrics
  • Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases
  • Pharmacy
  • Neurology and Neurosurgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Dentistry
  • Cardiology
  • Nutrition

Staff members from the RSU Career Guidance and Wellbeing Centre will also participate in the event, providing 15-minute psychological consultations and give an insight into working with metaphorical associative cards.

Donors must present a valid ID (passport or ID card, eID) and provide their bank account number.

You can donate blood if you...

  • are between 18–65 years old,
  • weigh no less than 50 kg,
  • have not drunk alcohol the day before giving blood,
  • have eaten, slept, rested and feel good,
  • are healthy and have not recently been sick,
  • maintain a healthy diet and have had plenty of fluids beforehand,
  • have not given blood at least 9 weeks prior.

Donors must present valid personal identification (a passport or ID) and give their bank account number.

International students with a residence permit in Latvia and a Latvian personal code may also donate blood.

According to the World Health Organization, people who regularly give their blood live five years longer on average? Donors’ hematopoietic systems are activated and their immunity improves, they suffer less from acute and chronic diseases and feel positive through helping others. One donation can save the lives of three people.
