The Importance of Donating Blood During the Summer Months

The greatest danger that summer brings for blood donors is to fall into relaxation and think that during these months it is not necessary to go to donate, according to the president of the Brotherhood of Blood Donors of Burgos, Francisco del Amo.

In this sense, he has highlighted that donating blood, even if it is summer, is always necessary, since patients in many cases do not know vacations like different diseases. In addition, he has reminded that the donor who goes on vacation to another place can also donate if he deems it appropriate.

The data published a few days ago once again confirms that Burgos is at the forefront in the number of donations throughout Spain, something that indicates the solidarity of the people of Burgos with this good cause.

Del Amo emphasizes the importance of not giving up the habit of donating blood even if it is summer and especially in various towns in the province.

In this regard, it has indicated that last year until the month of July 5,605 donations were registered at the fixed point of the capital, compared to the 5,664 recorded during the past year, while outside the capital 4,771 were registered in 2022 compared to the 5,600 this year.

Francisco del Amo wanted to appeal to undecided people who are reluctant to donate blood, before recalling that the extension of the hours of the fixed point of donation in Burgos from 8:00 a.m. at 10:00 p.m., allows a greater margin for all donors.

He also recalled that donating blood saves lives.
