Grosseto. Municipal administration united to promote blood donation.
The initiative was born following a proposal from the president of the city council Fausto Turbanti, who this morning made an appointment with the mayor Antonfrancesco Vivarelli Colonna, the councilors and the councilors at transfusion center of the Misericordia hospital to send an important message to citizens. The City Council, therefore, in addition to being the body of political and administrative direction and control, opens up to the city by once again becoming a promoter of good practices to be increasingly closer to the community it represents, with transversal membership from all council groups.
For the occasion, it was taken a photo which will be displayed on 6×3 advertising posters in various areas of Grosseto, thanks to the collaboration of the Sistema company, so as to spread the initiative even more widely.
“It’s such a simple action – they comment Vivarelli Colonna and Turbans -, but at the same time fundamental for the whole community. As administrators, regardless of political affiliations, we must be promoters of solidarity and good civic example. Donating blood is an act of altruism and can often make the difference between life and death. Too often, unfortunately, the reserves in hospitals are not enough and for this reason we invite all those who can to donate, starting from the institutions, to set a good example, especially to young people. Let’s remember that each of us could need it. We thank the local health authority, Dr. Silvia Ceretelli, director of the UOC Immunohematology and transfusion medicine, with all the healthcare personnel and all the associations that deal with donation for their availability and for the work they carry out every day, the Sistema company for having immediately supported this project and all the administrators who joined”.
