This marathon is part of the series carried out by the Blood and Tissue Bank throughout Catalonia during the whole year in order to increase the number of donations, with the aim of being able to maintain surgical activity, attract new donors and raise awareness about the daily needs of Catalan hospitals.
This year, the marathon produced a total of 249 donations, 12 offers of donation (donations that could not be carried out for medical reasons) and 63 first donations. These excellent results constitute a challenge for the Clínic’s next blood donation marathon in 2010.
