This initiative not only tries to supply the blood banks of the state in a way of solidarity, but also to spread the benefits that the donation could give to the donors themselves. From stimulating blood cell production to reducing cardiovascular risks, Blood donation is presented as a double beneficial activity: it saves lives and promotes well-being.
SONG OF THE GOSPEL
Regeneration of blood cells
By donating, the body initiates the cell regeneration process, producing new blood cells that improve the flow and overall health of the circulatory system. This cycle helps maintain “fresh” and healthy blood, reducing viscosity and benefiting circulation.
Control of iron levels
Too much iron in the body can damage vital organs such as the heart and liver. Donating blood is an effective way to keep these levels balanced, which contributes to the prevention of various health problems.
Lowering blood pressure and cardiovascular health
Medical studies have shown that regular blood donations help to reduce blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health, which is due to better circulation and reduced blood viscosity.

Before each donation, centers perform basic health checks, including measuring blood pressure and hemoglobin levels, which allow donors to learn more about their health status and, in some cases, detect problems .
Psychological benefits and personal satisfaction
Satisfaction in helping others is associated with improved emotional well-being, reduces stress and promotes a sense of purpose and connection to the community. This positive psychological effect is also an incentive for those who make regular donations.
MUST NOT STOP
There are constant demands on blood banks to deal with accidents, surgeries and treatments for chronic diseases. The role of altruistic donors is vital in saving lives, and campaigns like this underline the importance of a constant supply of safe and available blood. The Ministry of Health and the UAdeC have indicated that each donation can help several people, as the donated blood is separated into components that can be used for different medical needs.
RULES FOR DONORS
The Ministry of Health is establishing a series of requirements to ensure that donors are in the best possible conditions to donate:

Weight: Weight at least 50 kg.

Interval from contributions: Men can donate every three months; women, all four.
In addition, temporary restrictions have been defined for those who have recently had illnesses, medical procedures (tattoos, piercings), or trips to risk areas. There are also permanent conditions that disqualify donation, such as chronic conditions or diseases that can be given with blood.
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND SUPPORT
Cooperation between the university community and citizens in general will be essential to the success of this initiative. The organizers reiterate that those attending must present official identification and complete a medical assessment questionnaire. The campaign is also supported by trained staff, who guide donors through each step of the process to ensure their safety and well-being.
With this campaign, Coahuila reinforces its commitment to public health, promoting blood donation as an act of solidarity and citizen responsibility. The organizers invite the public to take advantage of the opportunity to make a difference, remembering that you are not only helping others by donating blood.s, but you will also find your own development in terms of physical and mental health.
