Dr. Fausto Suárez, head of the Hemotherapy service at the Río Grande Hospital, spoke with FREE AREA FM on National Voluntary Blood Donor Day. And the importance of that action.
The doctor maintained that “this day is celebrated in honor of Dr. Luis Agote, who was an Argentine doctor and researcher, who precisely on November 9, 1914 performed the first anticoagulated blood transfusion, at that time he used sodium citrate to able to do this transfusion and he did it at the Rawson hospital. And the importance is to promote and raise awareness in the community in general about the importance of blood donation framed in the principles of humanity and unity.”
Dr. Suárez added that blood donation is “as a social bond that also determines the sustainability of blood services throughout the province. Donating blood is saving lives. It is a motto that is generally like this, although it seems that we say it, it is like that, blood really saves lives, a unit, a component of, whether plasma, planet or red blood cells, saves the lives of millions of people.
So many patients who undergo surgery, who have hemorrhages, patients with some leukemia, who are undergoing chemotherapy, pregnant, for children, really, without that we would not, no, we could not, we could not have this possibility of achieving this.”
He explained that “in order to be donors they have to come to our service, at 350 Belgrano Avenue, and have some simple requirements such as having more than 55 kilos in general, being between 18 and 60 years of age, enjoying good health, treating If you are not under any medical treatment, avoid consuming fats and dairy products before coming, and bring slightly loose clothing. “Those would be the fundamental requirements to be able to make the donation.”
