As the Seville blood transfusion center indicates, the Blood is a vital “drug” that cannot be produced.
Likewise, the center itself provides several recommendations and warnings for donation:
- A minimum period of 2 months must be respected between donation and donation. men can donate blood 4 times a year; women 3 times a year.
- Before you donate, a doctor will examine you to see if you can donate. In this way, donating does not involve any health risks. This process includes a small blood test to rule out possible anemia.
- A blood donation lasts 15 minutes; 15 minutes that can save a life.
- All material used in the blood donation process is sterile and single use.
- After the donation, the blood is replenished with the ingestion of food, especially liquids, and a little rest. These foods will be available to the donor at the donation site.
- Notice: on the day of donation it is not possible to play sports neither 12 hours before nor 24 hours after.
