However, our acceptance depends on compliance with current legislation and a number of factors that take into account the risk that such a donation may pose to the health of the candidate himself and to the health of the individual receiving the donated blood.

Blood is processed as soon as collected, preferably within 6 hours of donation.

Red blood cells recover 2 to 3 weeks after donation. Iron stocks at 60 days in men and 60 to 90 days in women of childbearing age.

Yes, donating blood is safe. There is no risk of getting an infectious disease by donating blood. However, there is a small risk that the donor may feel unwell during or shortly after the donation especially the first few times he or she donates, but the services are concerned about this, watching and making sure the donors feel nothing or feel feel so that they are well assisted until full recovery.
