José Ballesta, godfather of the campaign 'It does not matter how you are, what is important is that you need', calls on the residents of Murcia to participate in the II Blood Donation Marathon next June 14.
This solidarity call for life, driven by the Regional Hemodonation Center, will travel more than 12,000 kilometers and will reach the 45 municipalities of the Region
The Mayor of Murcia, José Ballesta, Health Minister Manuel Villegas, and the director of the Regional Hemodonation Center, Vicente García, presented today the summer blood donation campaign 'Da igual como seas, the important thing is that you need to ', Which seeks to raise awareness about the need to donate blood regularly, to maintain medical and surgical activity also in the summer and thus to meet the demand of hospitals in Murcia.
José Ballesta, who has been named sponsor of this initiative promoted by the Regional Hemodonation Center, said that "the beginning of this solidarity call for life, which will cover more than 12,000 kilometers from June to September and reach the 45 municipalities of the Region, will take place on June 14 in the city of Murcia, coinciding with World Blood Donor Day.
Thus, the Plenary Hall will host the Second Blood Donation Marathon for the second consecutive year.
"Last year, the generosity and commitment of the Murcia exceeded expectations, with a total of 525 donors, of which 179 were new;
A success that this year we hope to overcome thanks to the voluntary contribution of anonymous people who, through their donation, allow us to carry out surgeries, medical and oncological treatments that save lives on a daily basis. "
To disseminate this campaign, a web site (www.tipodesangre.org) has been created with a fun test in which potential donors can find out if they have 'horchata blood, hot, sweet or thick', etc., to banish fear of The needles and highlight the importance of donations.
These are different 'types' of people, with different 'types' of blood that, thanks to their donations, make it possible for others to continue living.
Regional Hemodynamic Center, commitment to health
The final objective of this initiative of the Regional Hemodynamic Center, a body with a record of 26 years of work and commitment to the health of Murcia, is to thank the donors for their contribution, as well as raise awareness of the need to donate with Regularity, especially young people.
It is necessary to take into account that 250 to 300 blood donations per day are necessary to deal with the sanitary and surgical activity of regional hospitals, so promoting and highlighting the need to share life through blood donation is key.
