The Oswaldo Cruz Institute (IOC/Fiocruz), in partnership with Hemorio and the Union of Public Health Science, Technology, Production and Innovation Workers of Fiocruz (Asfoc-SN), promoted, last Friday (03/13), a blood donation campaign at Fiocroz.
The campaign in support of life collected 71 blood bags, which could benefit more than 200 people. The initiative contributed to the blood supply in the public health network of the state of Rio de Janeiro, served by Hemorio, which is responsible for distributing the bags to SUS (Brazilian public health system) units.
As part of the program, the event featured the activity "Inside the Blood with Art & Science," which provided the public with an immersive experience, simulating a journey through the interior of a human vein for a better understanding of blood components.
The activity was part of the celebrations for the 125th anniversary of IOC and sought to bring science and society closer together in an interactive way.
The campaign also included educational initiatives, such as the production of posters encouraging donation, reinforcing the importance of collective engagement.

Hemorio supplies more than 180 health units in the state of Rio de Janeiro and plays a strategic role in hospital care. Blood stocks are essential for carrying out transfusions.
The collection process is quick, lasting an average of up to 10 minutes, and follows strict safety protocols, using sterile and disposable materials, posing no risk to the donor.
Dr. Magda Salles, from Hemorio, highlighted the importance of regular donations.
"The blood supply needs to be continuous. It's a commitment that should be part of society's routine. Initiatives like this are fundamental and should inspire other institutions," he stated.
