Blood Donation Week begins today in the Department of Transfusion Medicine at the regional hospital in Pazardzhik. The initiative is dedicated to the three saints — Faith, Hope, and Charity — and marks their feast day with a noble gesture toward those in need.
Those who wish to become blood donors can donate on every working day from 7:30 to 13:00 in the department. The organizers emphasize that donation is a safe voluntary procedure that benefits both the person in need and the donor.
The clinic notes that donating blood is a way to give life to others, while adhering to all necessary safety conditions. The procedure lasts about 30 minutes, the blood donation kits are regulated, and all materials used are sterile and for single use.
Experts note that the human body has natural regulatory mechanisms that compensate for the donated amount of 450 ml of blood. Any healthy person aged between 18 and 65 can donate, with men allowed up to five times a year and women up to four times, with at least two months between donations.
The hospital reminds that there is no risk to donors and that donation is the safest way to help those in need without harming one's own health.
Further in the Health section: two doctors from Gorni Oryahovitsa, Dr. Antoaneta Pavlova and Dr. Alexander Davidov, have received basic training in the Medical-Diagnostic Laboratory, saving a trip to Pleven. A free AI eye-screening campaign under “See Your Eyes in Time” is also announced, with participation in 29 settlements and Sofia for people over 50 and diabetics.
The health reform series continues as well on clinica.bg.
