Blood donations help save lives and improve health, as they are used to carry out regular transfusions in people affected by diseases such as thalassemia or sickle cell disease; They are vital when accidents occur, as well as being used for the manufacture of various products, for example clotting factors for hemophiliacs. There is a constant need for regular donations, as blood can only be kept for a limited time and then it is no longer usable. Regular blood donations by a sufficient number of healthy people are essential to ensure the availability of safe blood when and where it is needed.
Understanding this call and with the purpose of saving lives, residents of the communities of Jesús Lores and San Ignacio in the municipality of Imías, Guantánamo province, attended the mobile banks, which were held in the clinics of these localities. Volunteer blood donors are the only ones who can prevent a shortage of this vital fluid and its safe blood components, and having the need to turn to donors, family or replacement. Millions of people save lives every year through this altruistic, humane and caring action. Our municipality has said present. Many were the young people who came voluntarily, which shows their worth, political cadres, sports workers and women also joined in representation of the Federation of Cuban Women, aware of the great contribution they make, which acquires greater value in these times of pandemic for their contributions to the treatment of patients with Covid -19. Blood is the most valuable gift we can offer to another person: the gift of life. The decision to donate blood can save a life, or even several if the blood is separated into components - red blood cells, platelets and plasma - that can be used individually for patients with specific diseases. The choice is yours.
