We are now launching our very first blood drive event in the city of Lisbon!
We are waiting for you:
Saturday, December 17th
from 8 am to 7.30 pm
INSTITUTO PORTUGUÊS DO SANGUE E DA TRANSPLANTAÇÃO, IP
Área Funcional do Sangue. Parque de Saúde de Lisboa, Av. do Brasil, n.º 53 – Pav. 17. 1749-005 Lisboa
Minimum requirements include:
• Age between 18 and 70
• A weight not less than 50 kg
The doctor will assess your status before collection and establish if you can donate.
To avoid disappointment check the Lisbon Blood and Transplant Center for the full list of exclusions.
● Those who have been involved in serious accidents, like a car crash
● Those who need a surgery
● Mothers giving birth
● People with blood disorders, such as sickle cell patients
● Patients being treated for cancer
● Leukemia patients
People like you, whose life depends on the kindness of others. Be the kind one, help save lives.
Giving blood is a selfless act of kindness, but we’ll be offering you:
● A free check-up of your blood
● Time off from work (if you wish)
And, most of all… the joy and fulfillment of knowing you’ve been of help.
Come donate blood, if you can.
Eat iron-rich foods, such as beans, spinach, iron-fortified cereals or raisins and drink extra liquids. Get a good night's sleep.
If you show up with a full stomach, you may not be able to donate.
You don't have to be somebody's family member to donate blood, but don't forget to bring your passport!
