The Blood Transfusion Center of Seville , which depends on the Andalusian Health Service (SAS), made an appeal last Monday for donations after Easter, especially of groups O- and A-, since "it is urgent to replenish the reserves as soon as possible to distribute them among all the hospitals in the province."

Therefore, the University of Seville is joining the blood donation campaign organized by the Seville Transfusion, Tissue and Cell Center. This campaign aims to promote blood donation within the university community, as well as to recruit new donors among young students.

From April 17th to 20th, ETSi students will be able to participate in the Blood Donation Campaign 

On Monday, April 17, Tuesday, April 18, Wednesday, April 19, and Thursday, April 20, a blood donation drive will be held in collaboration with the University of Seville. Donations will take place at the East Swimming Pool from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
