Gabriela Agudo, blood therapy and immunohematology technician on the blood bank’s external collection team, said the day was scheduled because three or four events are held each year, as recommended by the Ministry of Health’s guiding doctor Luis Medina Ruiz, It was developed in partnership with Tafi City Council.
In this sense, the professional emphasized that the blood bank is committed to providing the units needed before they come to the town to seek the cooperation of the community to donate blood: “For the residents of Tafi, when we have such an operation, We’re able to donate because we’re close to their homes and they don’t have to travel.”
Agudo said that the day’s activities were carried out in an orderly manner from 9 am to 1:30 pm, with a total of 31 donors participating, and announced that Tafi’s next donation will be made in December.
