Today, Thursday, July 28, from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., a new blood donation will be held in the El Cirer Social Hall. The Transfusion Center of the Valencian Community moves to La Nucía to carry out the thirteenth blood collection of 2022. To donate blood it is not necessary to pre-register, nor to have a donor card.
The City Council of La Nucía gives the El Cirer Social Hall free of charge to the Transfusion Center of the Valencian Community for this new “blood collection”. From the Department of Health it is recalled that “there is no act more supportive than donating blood” and that “by donating blood, we save 3 lives”.
Secure Donation
The Transfusion Center continues to maintain precautionary measures in blood collections. For the tranquility of the donors, it is reported that the El Cirer Social Hall is a safe space and that those who will work in it take extreme hygiene and self-care measures. Donors who have had respiratory conditions or fever in the last 14 days should not go to donate.
In the donation room, health prevention guidelines continue to be maintained: safety distance, hand washing with hydro-alcoholic gel at the entrance and not sharing the pen. It is essential that the donor comes with a mask and wears it at all times during the donation.
Blood needed in hospitals
La Nucía has considerably increased the frequency of donations, making two collections each month. All help is little since 250 donations a day are needed in the province of Alicante, which is what the hospitals in our province use globally every day. We remind you that “blood cannot be manufactured” and that the only way to obtain it is through “solidarity, voluntary and altruistic donation”.
requirements
The general requirements to donate blood are to be over 18 years old and under 65 years old and weigh more than 50 kilos. It is essential to drink abundantly and eat before donating blood and you can donate, even if you have high cholesterol. Each adult can donate blood four times a year for men and 3 times for women. To donate blood it is not necessary to pre-register, so new donors can go directly to the El Cirer Social Hall today, Thursday, July 28, between 4:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
