The mobile unit will be operational at the Jesús Arencibia Cultural Space until Friday, July 24, and will resume activity from July 27 to 29. Citizens can visit during morning hours from 9:30 to 14:00, and in the afternoon from 16:30 to 21:00.
The Directorate General for Blood Donation and Hemotherapy emphasizes the importance of maintaining a steady flow of donations. During summer months, public participation often decreases, while transfusion needs in Canary Islands hospitals remain stable or even rise.
Voluntary donation is the only way to obtain blood components, as they cannot be manufactured artificially. Each donation is vital to ensure care for surgeries, medical treatments, and emergencies.
To donate, individuals must be between 18 and 65 years old, weigh over 50 kilograms, and be in good general health. For inquiries, the SCS provides the toll-free number 900 234 061 and the website efectodonacion.com.
