During the summer months, the Immunohemotherapy Service of the Local Health Unit (ULS) of the Algarve is calling for benevolent blood donations, reminding everyone that blood is a scarce and vital resource for those in need.
With the significant increase in the floating population due to tourism and the consequent rise in hospital activity, especially in emergency services, the need for safe blood reserves becomes even more urgent.
To ensure the health services' response capacity is not compromised, ULS Algarve encourages donations, reminding all potential donors, whether residents or visitors, that they can donate blood safely at the public hospitals' blood services in the region or at extraordinary collection sessions organized in various Algarve locations. For more information, interested parties can visit the official ULS Algarve website or contact the hospital services directly.
Remember, blood donation is essential for hospital operations.
Give Blood. Save Lives. ULS Algarve needs you.
