Importance of donation

According to statistics, 9 out of 10 people will need blood for themselves or their environment at some point in their lives.

In this way, voluntary and frequent donation is promoted “to have safe blood” and that it “is always available.”

It also seeks to prevent the patient who needs it and their environment from having to find donors.

The thing is that blood cannot be manufactured and the components to be transfused have different durations. Thus, platelets last up to 5 days and red blood cells up to 42 days, while plasma up to 1 year.

It is worth remembering that blood is necessary for transplants, operations, oncological treatments and accidents. If 3 to 5% of citizens donate twice a year, 100% is covered. of the country’s needs.
