Title: Donating blood, organs
Post by: TamaraEnLaPlaya on August 20, 2013, 01:29:25 AM
1. Is there a blood donation system in the islands? If yes, has anyone got the contact details?
2. Is there a system for donating organs? If yes, contact details if possible please.
Thanks.

Hi Tamara,  Spanish residents are automatically presumed to be  organ donors unless they sign saying that they want to opt out of the scheme.

Blood donor information is on this website Tamara.  http://translate.google.ie/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.gobiernodecanarias.org%2Fsanidad%2Fichh%2Fdonantes%2F&act=url (http://translate.google.ie/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.gobiernodecanarias.org%2Fsanidad%2Fichh%2Fdonantes%2F&act=url)

One page on the website I think  shows the times and areas where you can donate blood on a mobile unit . The Las Rotundas shopping centre in Rosario and the Padilla Supermarket in Pajara are on the list of places. http://www2.gobiernodecanarias.org/sanidad/ichh/ (http://www2.gobiernodecanarias.org/sanidad/ichh/)
