The World Health Organization recommends that the blood donation is a voluntary, responsible and unselfish act. When a person loses blood in large quantities by an accident or an operation, or have health problems, you may need to receive a blood transfusion.
However, since human blood is a substance that cannot currently make, you need to get it from another person, namely, a blood donor. Blood donations collected in all public hospitals and mobile units, arrive Transfusion Center, where they are analyzed and subjected to a process called fractionation whereby each unit of blood is divided into three components: red cells, platelets and plasma.
There is a constant requirement for regular blood donation because it can be stored for a limited time before being used. The donation regulate blood by an enough number of physically fit peoples are needed to ensure their availability at any time and place required.

Blood is the most valuable gift a person is able to give to another. It's 'gift of life'. The decision to donate blood can save the life of a person or even several.
To donate blood, you must:
- Being over 18 and under 65.
- weigh more than 50 kilos.
- Do not suffer or have suffered from blood-borne diseases.
- Spend a little medical examination including: taking blood pressure, hemoglobin determination, questionnaire with questions of health and medical history (to assess diseases, tumors, recent infections, etc.) so you can determine if you can donate blood or not definitively or temporarily.
