The ICHH reminds the population that donations can be made at fixed and temporary collection points and at SCS hospitals
The Canarian Institute of Hemodonation and Hemotherapy (ICHH), dependent on the Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands, launches an urgent appeal to the population of blood group 0+, to come and donate blood in order to maintain stock levels of the Canary Transfusion Center and to carry out a correct attention of the hospital demand.
Blood donation is a fundamental pillar for the normal functioning of the health system, as it is a unique product that cannot be manufactured but depends exclusively on the generous, altruistic and responsible donation of people who meet the requirements to be donors. On the other hand, the expiration of blood components makes it absolutely essential to maintain a regular number of donations throughout the year.
Donate blood
To donate blood you can go directly or request an appointment by calling 012 or 922 470 012 / 928 301 012 (option 8), from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. or by filling in the form published on the cover of the web effectdonation.com. Before going to donate, it is advisable to review the information published on this same web page in the Information and Protocol tab, to familiarize yourself with the established security measures and the self-assessment test.
The ICHH also reminds that people vaccinated against COVID-19, with both one and two doses and the booster dose, can donate blood after 48 hours of inoculation.
