ECDC recommends enhancing preparedness as more imported cases of clade I mpox are highly likely, but the likelihood of sustained transmission in Europe is very low.

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👇

[Mónica García @Monica_Garcia_G]

Gracias a las 1.120.000 personas que donaron sangre y plasma en España en 2023.

Es un orgullo ser autosuficientes en componentes sanguíneos. Necesitamos lo mismo con el plasma para fabricar medicamentos vitales.

Dona sangre, dona plasma, comparte la vida.
