Because the need for blood in hospitals does not know days or times and is constant seven days a week, we will tell you about the places where you can go to donate on weekdays, weekends or holidays.
A contribution to life as important as donating blood is essential for patients struggling between life and death in a health service, as well as for those who depend on this component to improve their quality of existence.
Taking into account that donating blood is an act that must be carried out constantly to contribute to the stock required in the services, donors are reminded that they can not only extend their arms for this act of solidarity from Monday to Friday, but also on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
