Did you know that 1,120,000 people donated blood and plasma in Spain last year? ❤️💛
We're still catching up on all the great messages from last week's #WorldBloodDonorDay. See the one from the Spanish Health Minister below👇
Gracias a las 1.120.000 personas que donaron sangre y plasma en España en 2023.

Dona sangre, dona plasma, comparte la vida.
