Although the COVID-19 pandemic has been the central topic of health information around the world for more than a year … the rest of the diseases have not disappeared. In Tania Molina’s report published yesterday by Diario Libre, a situation that has never stopped tormenting Dominican society was outlined again. A problem, that of donating blood and the difficulties in obtaining it in an emergency, that every Dominican family has gone through at some point and that has never been solved.
The announcement in the past administration of the creation of a Hemocenter that would end the anxiety, the clandestine market and the illegal sale of blood raised many hopes. The center was “handed over” in August 2019 but is still not working.
Donating blood, the beginning of the whole process, is extremely complicated and tedious. The process seems guaranteed but whoever needs it will find a thousand stumbles. Solving this issue would bring great tranquility to the population. We have quality public and private hospitals. The topic of donating blood should already be organized.
