The initiative aims to bring this act of solidarity closer to residents and visitors, especially during the summer period when blood demand typically increases. The mobile unit will travel to different locations to ensure access to donation.
Today and tomorrow, the campaign will be held in La Frontera, on Tigaday street, from 4:15 PM to 9:15 PM. On Wednesday, the extraction team will set up in La Restinga, in the municipality of El Pinar, specifically on the Avenida Marítima, serving donors between 4:15 PM and 8:30 PM.
Subsequently, on July 16 and 17, the mobile unit will visit Valverde, located in Plaza Santiago. On Thursday, the hours will be from 3:45 PM to 9:00 PM, and on Friday from 8:45 AM to 12:15 PM.
