Abstract

In addition, on June 14 it is celebrated the World Blood Donor Day by the World Health Organization and this year Mexico was the host country for the celebration . Therefore, it is important to highlight the work carried out in blood banks, ranging from their main activity, which is the recruitment of blood donors
and the blood components production, to the different interventions they have in the field of transplantation, diseases emerging diagnosis and the development of new therapeutic modalities, such as, for example, cell therapy.
