On Thursday, January 9, the mobile blood donation unit of ADOS, the Sergas Blood and Organ Donation Agency, will arrive in A Pobra do Brollón. It will be parked in front of the Civil Guard barracks. between 4:00 PM and 6:30 PM.
If you are going to donate, remember to bring your ID. Wait 2 hours after lunch before donating, and tell the doctor if you are taking any medication.
Holiday periods, such as Christmas and the long holidays, require a reinforcement in the call for citizen participation since, during these periods, the number of donations may decrease but the same does not happen with demand. Every day, between 400 and 500 donations are needed to guarantee adequate coverage of blood components to hospitals. At the moment, reserves of groups zero positive and zero negative are low.
There is more information in the leaflet included below. You can also consult in this pdf from the Organ and Blood Donation Agency more information about requirements for donating blood.
