Fourth blood donation day organized by the Iavante CMAT line

Yesterday, Thursday, the blood donation solidarity day “You can be a superhero” organized by the Iavante line of the Andalusian Public Foundation for Progress and Health was held at the Advanced Multifunctional Complex of Simulation and Technological Innovation (CMAT).

Throughout the day, numerous students and professionals who work at the Health Technology Park passed through the CMAT facilities to make their donation and thus contribute to increasing blood reserves.

Many of these blood donors decided in turn to become sample donors for biomedical research by registering in the Andalusian Registry of Sample Donors for Biomedical Research (REDMI). With these new donors, the Registry manages to exceed 1,500 registered people.
