The Hospital Universitario del Henares, in Coslada, has held a new edition of its blood donation marathon, achieving 86 effective donations out of 109 people who presented themselves.

The solidarity initiative, aimed at meeting the transfusion needs of patients in the Community of Madrid, saw significant participation from citizens and professionals. Various activities were organized during the donation days to foster a festive and appreciative atmosphere.
Characters from the Star Wars universe visited the facilities to encourage participants and take photos, helping to highlight the importance of blood donation. Additionally, two tickets for Bryan Adams' upcoming concert in Madrid were raffled among donors.
Donated blood is crucial for surgical procedures, cancer treatments, transplants, accidents, and other clinical situations requiring daily transfusions. The hospital extends its gratitude to all participants, healthcare staff, and the Transfusion Center of the Community of Madrid.
The hospital emphasizes that each donation can benefit multiple patients and reminds the public that the need for blood is constant throughout the year, encouraging regular donations. The success of the campaign underscores the solidarity of residents in the hospital's service area.
