Onda once again demonstrates that solidarity is part of its identity. Coinciding with World Blood Donor Day, commemorated this June 14th, the municipality has achieved 1,317 blood donations since January 1, 2025. This figure reflects the constant involvement of residents in a cause that contributes to saving lives every day.
During this period, a total of 1,495 people have attended the various donation drives held in the municipality, mainly at the Health Center and the Virgen del Carmen School. Of these, 1,317 were able to make an effective donation, helping to reinforce the blood reserves needed for surgical interventions, oncological treatments, emergencies, and numerous healthcare needs of hospitals in the Valencian Community.
One of the most significant figures is the growth in the number of people who have decided to donate for the first time. Specifically, 70 residents have joined as new donors, ensuring generational succession and strengthening a vital solidarity network for the daily functioning of the healthcare system.
“"Every donation is a life-saving gesture and once again demonstrates the enormous solidarity commitment of the people of Onda. It is a pride to see that Onda always responds when it comes to helping those most in need and contributing to the well-being of thousands of people."
It is estimated that a single donation can benefit up to three different patients thanks to the separation of its blood components. This means that the 1,317 donations registered in Onda over the last year and a half could help thousands of people who need transfusions to overcome illnesses, accidents, or complex medical procedures.
From the City Council, they have also recognized the work of healthcare professionals, the Transfusion Center of the Valencian Community, and all the volunteers who make each donation drive possible, ensuring that the generosity of the people of Onda reaches where it is most needed.
On the occasion of World Blood Donor Day, the council encourages residents to continue participating in future collections and reminds them that donating blood remains one of the simplest, safest, and most necessary acts of solidarity to sustain healthcare.
