Blood donation is one of the noblest gestures that humans can take, save life, main public health principle that our country maintains and has already become part of our existence.
The ariguanabense territory has many people who come to the blood bank to leave their drop of blood. That is why San Antonio de los Baños is one of the Artemisa territories within the CDR advanced emulation. Oscar Revé, worker of the Basic Unit of Cooperative Production UBPCs Batalla de las Guásimas from Lázaro Peña Tobacco Enterprise, is one of the men that helps San Antonio de los Baños to occupy a top place.
When did you start this needed task?
Six years ago, I'm 30 and the first time I did it was right here in my workplace, I have always been healthy and my blood is good. When my boss asked me if I was ready, I told him when I lived in another province I did it once for my CDR, then I move over here and start working, so from my work center I´ll do it as many necessary times.
How important is for you to donate blood?
I feel good and gives me pride to know that my attitude, helping people to improve their health, contributed to their quality of life. Today could be anyone, tomorrow can be me or a relative.
Did you see many young people exercise this solidarity gesture?
Yes of course, but I think you should continue with the call, it is never enough and there are young people who are able to do so, but perhaps out of laziness or lack of awareness do not take into account.
What would you say to a person having your blood by a transfusion?
I´ll give him a hug and say, brother, I'm here.
