The event will take place from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM. To donate, participants must bring an official identification document and should not come on an empty stomach. Blood and plasma donation is free and requires prior registration.
To donate blood, an appointment must be made through the website donarsang.gencat.cat. For plasma donation, consult with the Blood Bank by filling out the form on the website donarsang.gencat.cat/plasma.
The requirements for plasma donation are the same as for blood donation: being between 18 and 70 years old, weighing over 50 kilograms, being in good health, and, for women, not being pregnant. Recovery after plasma donation is rapid, allowing donations every 15 days up to 24 times a year. 'Plasma exchange' lasts between 45 and 60 minutes and involves separating plasma from other blood components, which are then returned to the donor.
These blood-derived medicines, obtained from plasma proteins, are vital for patients with various diseases, especially immunoglobulins (IgG), which help the immune system fight infections.
