They call to donate blood in the last change of vacationers

“You have to think that blood transfusions help patients at risk of life, ranging from newborns, premature babies and older adults. On the other hand, women with obstetric complications, patients with complex surgical interventions, with chronic diseases or who suffer some type of cancer. Patients and their treatments do not take vacations.” says Dr. Loreto Vergara, director of the Metropolitan Blood Center.

The call alludes to the need, but also to solidarity and empathy, to the factor of helping others repeatedly, thinking that it can be donated again in a space of 4 months for women and 3 months for men. . “The idea is to create a culture of donation, being able to go to the donation center from time to time to continue saving lives every day. In addition, the donation plasma is replaced in 24 hours, and the red blood cells start immediately to renew itself, therefore, it is a process that does not complicate your body at all” comments the specialist.
