There are eight fixed points to donate blood throughout the province, to which are added the external collections that are frequently organized in different spaces.
The province’s Ministry of Health promotes the voluntary and regular donation of blood with eight fixed points throughout the province in order to ensure self-sufficiency of blood in a safe, efficient manner and with the highest quality standards. The Provincial Hemotherapy Network, coordinated by the Regional Hemotherapy Center (CRH), has eight nodes that comprehensively support permanent work –even in the context of a pandemic– to guarantee that blood donation is a safe process in these points and in all external collections that are organized.
The central objective is that all those Neuquins and Neuquins that require an intervention or treatment with some component of the blood, have this input that cannot be manufactured artificially and that is only obtained through the solidarity of donors.
