Hemocentro in Mato Grosso provides collection calendar for May

MT Hemocentro, the only public blood bank in Mato Grosso, is promoting itinerant actions in several cities in the state, including Cuiabá, with the aim of maintaining blood stocks and meeting existing demand. The initiatives, carried out through the “MT Hemocentro Itinerante”, “Ir Para Including” and “Multiação” programs, rely on the collaboration of several partners and seek to facilitate blood donation, reaching different audiences.

The director of MT Hemocentro, Gian Carla Zanela, highlights the importance of these campaigns and the mobile unit. According to her, these actions not only reinforce the team’s tireless work, but also encourage solidarity from new donors.

“In addition to our headquarters, where services do not stop, we carry out campaigns in strategic cities in the interior and with private and public companies and institutions to collect collections and maintain the blood supply. These actions are extremely important, as they bring MT Hemocentro closer to the population and other Hemorrede units”, he highlighted.
