Citizenship Department holds blood donation campaign at CASS, this Tuesday (9/12) - Archive/ Rio City Hall The Salgado Filho Municipal Hospital (HMSF), in Méier, will hold a blood donation campaign next Tuesday (05/03), from 9 am to 15 pm. This is a partnership between the unit and Hemorio, which is responsible for providing blood products to more than 200 public hospitals in Rio de Janeiro, mainly for emergencies. The action will take place in the emergency room entrance hall.
Donating blood is safe and saves lives. After collection, the blood components are separated and four people can benefit. Within 24 hours of donation, the donor's body begins to rebuild some of the substances that were removed, so that the next collection can be done after eight weeks for men and 12 for women, since the blood will already have the reconstituted components.
To be a blood donor, you must present an official photo ID; be between 16 and 69 years old (those under 18 must have authorization from a guardian); be in good health; and weigh more than 50 kg. You do not need to be fasting. However, it is recommended that you have not eaten fatty foods in the last four hours. Another important factor is to be well-rested. And in 30 days, the volunteer can get the results of laboratory tests performed on a small blood sample taken from the donation.
People who have had tattoos or piercings must wait six months to donate. Those who have recently had COVID-19 must wait ten days after recovering.
