Madrid makes an urgent call for blood donations due to the Urda train accident
The Community of Madrid urgently calls for blood donations following a train accident in Urda, Toledo, which resulted in at least 30 fatalities. Blood from all six groups is needed due to critically low reserves. President Isabel Díaz Ayuso and Health Minister Mónica García have urged citizens to contribute. Blood components are essential for emergencies, surgeries, and treatments, and cannot be manufactured. Fixed donation points are available in 30 hospitals, along with mobile units. In Toledo, donations can be made at local health centers and hospitals.
