He added that most donations occurred between 2003 and 2004 with over 528,000 but declined from 2005 in line with hospital demand and medical productions.

Since the UN established the World's Donor' Day on June 14, 2004, the CDR rate blood extraction at 19.2 per every people, a rate that earned a medal from the Pan-American Health Organization.
