They call on Basque citizens to donate blood to ensure reserves during the summer
The Department of Osasn and Osakidetza of the Basque Government call on the public to donate blood in order to guarantee reserves during the summer. They recall that about 300 donations are needed every day and, on the occasion of International Blood Donor Day on Saturday, they call on all citizens who are between 18 and 65 years old, who are healthy and weigh more than 50 kilos.
The Department of Health and Osakidetza have reported that, as at Christmas, July and August are a difficult period for the supply of blood components in the hospitals of the Basque Autonomous Community (CAV).
In this regard, the Basque Centre for Transfusion and Human Tissues in Osakidetza has recalled that blood donation is still the only way to obtain numerous components for transfusion or for the manufacture of plasma drugs, which are essential in health activity.
Well, in order to cope with the decline in supplies, the Department of Health and Osakidetza believe that June is the right time to donate and get enough reserves to cope with the spring, and that's why they're asking for citizen support.
Blood donation can help hundreds of people who need life treatment every day, as blood is divided into various components to meet medical needs, such as oncological treatments, operations, emergencies, or medicines for acute and chronic patients.
