The Seville Blood, Tissue, and Cell Transfusion Center, following its regular schedule, will be accepting blood donors at its headquarters on Manuel Siurot Avenue as well as in seven municipalities across the province on Thursday, October 29, and Friday, October 30.
In a social media post, they are encouraging people of all blood types to come to the center, although they are particularly in need of O-negative, A-negative, A-positive, and O-positive blood.
Although the center has not received an official request to provide blood supplies for the victims of the train accident in Urda, its main facility and mobile units continue to stand by in case their assistance is needed.
