Solidarity is once again the focus of attention in Almensilla with a new blood donation day. It will take place on Thursday, September 26, from 5 to 9 pm, at the municipality’s Health Centre.
As on previous occasions, we remind you that the requirements for donation are to weigh more than 50 kilos, be of legal age, be in good health and not come on an empty stomach.
There must be a minimum 2-month period between donations. Men can donate blood 4 times a year; women 3 times a year.
Before you donate, a doctor will examine you to determine if you are fit to donate. This means that donating does not pose any risk to your health. This process includes a small blood test to rule out possible anemia.
A blood donation lasts 15 minutes; 15 minutes that can save a life.
All materials used in the blood donation process are sterile and single-use.
After donation, blood is replenished by eating, especially liquids, and resting briefly. These foods will be available to the donor at the donation site.
It is also advised that you cannot do sports on the day of donation, neither 12 hours before nor 24 hours after.
