On the occasion of celebrating National Voluntary Blood Donor Day on November 9, the Regional Hemotherapy Center has programmed actions to promote voluntary and habitual blood donation, unrelated to replacement.
Blood is a unique, irreplaceable good and cannot be manufactured, so the only way to obtain it is through donation from people who are in good health. Therefore, the activities seek to make visible the permanent need for blood and add regular donors.
In this framework, the company SAETA will collaborate with the promotion, through a graphic campaign in the public transport units of the city of Salta and the metropolitan area.
Professionals from the Regional Hemotherapy Center will attend the Salesian Ángel Zerda secondary school and the Tomás Cabrera Provincial School of Fine Arts, where they will hold informative and awareness-raising talks with fourth and fifth year students. The objective is for students to become familiar with voluntary and habitual donation, to be able to actively participate in promotional campaigns and to join as donors.
