The Blood Bank at the Hospital de Pronto Socorro (HPS), in Porto Alegre, will be open this Saturday, 27th, from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, to receive donations. The idea is to join the Corrente sob Pressão campaign, promoted across the country by TV Globo. The sector operates on the second floor of the hospital, at Largo Teodoro Herzl, s/nº, Bom Fim.
Anyone who prefers to make a donation during the regular opening hours, from Monday to Friday, should preferably make an appointment in advance by calling 51 3289-7658 (WhatsApp). Opening hours are from 8am to 12pm. After collection, each component is rigorously tested.
