The National Blood Service managed to get 29,000 people to donate blood last year at the offices of Montevideo and Maldonado. The director of the service, Lourdes Viano, said that with only one donor, four lives can be saved, thanks to the technological development of Uruguay, which allows the use of all the blood components. Capturing more voluntary donors is a priority objective.
