The blood shortage in Sardinia is now a real emergency . 30,000 bags are missing from the appeal, says the Aou of Sassari which has implemented a series of initiatives to promote the donation.

Blood, it should be remembered, is essential for thalassaemias, for medical emergencies, surgical operations, treatments for patients suffering from serious illnesses and many other clinical situations.

«Donation is a safe and controlled process and people can donate blood periodically without harming their health – underlines Pietro Manca, of the transfusion center -. On the contrary, donating is positive because the donor's health status is monitored every time . August is upon us and I renew my appeal to all associations, organizations, orders and individual citizens to come and donate blood before going on vacation . Like other professionals involved in recent weeks, the architects of the province of Sassari also responded to the invitation from the transfusion center of the Aou».

The professionals, who have not been stopped by the heat of recent days, have reached the transfusion center in via Monte Grappa for their donation.

"We very gladly accepted the invitation of the transfusion center of the Aou of Sassari that Dr. Manca made during a meeting that took place some time ago together with all the technical professions: architects, engineers, surveyors, agricultural experts, industrial experts, agronomists", declared Pietro Peru, the president of the order of architects. A group of fifteen professionals who braved the very high temperatures to cope with the chronic lack of blood and thus try to help increase supplies.
