The mean index of donations obtained in mobile unit campaigns was 34.59 donations per session. <\/p>\n<p> Donated blood is used in Catalan public and private health care centres  to carry out surgical interventions, oncological treatments, organ transplants and transfusions.  In 2008, the total number of donations increased by 15,782 units when compared to 2007 (which means a 5.58% increase).  However, reserves are still low given that, in order to guarantee a good supply, more than 1,000 donations are needed daily, according to the BSC.  <\/p>\n<p> The Blood and Tissue Bank of the Catalan Health Service (BST) is, at present, the only blood bank in Catalonia \u2013the result of merging  all Catalan blood banks to adequately respond to technical and safety requirements- and has become a significant reference centre in Catalonia and in Spain.  Its mission is to obtain, manage and administer donations, transfusions and blood and plasma analyses, as well as to obtain and process tissues and other intervention lines in the field of immunobiology, molecular diagnosis, cell therapy and regenerative medicine.  The Bank has 16 permanent blood donation centres in reference hospitals and 17 mobile unit teams that frequently cover all Catalan health care regions.     <\/p>\n<p> According to the last BST <a>report<\/a>, Catalonia is one of autonomous communities in Spain boasting more than 40 donations per 1000 inhabitants (the national average is 37.6) and in 2008, 41,579 Catalan citizens became new donors in the community.  In recognition of the Catalan model \u2013based on one blood bank, associationism, and the promotion of blood donation as a sign of solidarity and civic responsibility- Barcelona has been chosen as the host city to hold the next 2010 World Blood Donor Day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next Thursday, May 21, the Blood and Tissue Bank (<a>BST<\/a>) of the Generalitat of Catalonia (the Catalan government) will host the sixth blood drive at the Barcelona Science Park (PCB).
