“Brotherhood of Blood Donors of Burgos Celebrate Successful Year of Donations”

This Saturday the Monastery of San Agustín hosts the celebration of the Assembly of the Brotherhood of Blood Donors of Burgos, and its representatives come to it with the satisfaction of having fulfilled their duty, according to the president of the Brotherhood, Francisco del Amo.

In this sense, he recalled that Burgos and its province are at the top of the donation rate in all of Spain, although he maintains that it is necessary not to relax and continue donating because emergencies due to lack of blood always occur.

Francisco del Amo assures that the year 2022 has been good in terms of donations, although he has qualified that at the beginning the figures were not as expected. He recalls that the Donation Center, located at the Divino Valles Continuous Service Point, has extended its hours by four hours, which is why he maintains that there is no excuse for not donating.

Although the president of the Brotherhood is satisfied with the data, he stresses that it is necessary to maintain awareness work and make visible that it is positive to put in the arm to donate blood, as long as the donor is in good health to donate.

Although the pandemic led to a drop in the number of donations, and admitting that there is still some fear of having to go to donate to the Continuous Emergency Care Point of Divino Valles, Francisco del Amo recalls that with 58.26 donations per 1,000 inhabitants , Burgos heads the ranking for all of Spain, with an average of 36 donations per 1,000 inhabitants.

Francisco del Amo indicates that all Burgos donors have the Brotherhood at their disposal so that they can express their complaints and suggestions with the aim of improving the service they provide.
