I wonder where those 26 regional sites are.  Will have to investigate further!  Thanks for the info!   Re: blood donation in David....if they have exhausted all their resources, we would likely put out a call to help, also.  If someone needs blood, they need blood.  That is why I posted in Chiriqui.life, hoping someone in David could donate.  It is very hard to find a match on the type & cross.  Sometimes it takes 4 people just to get one match!  We all have antibodies in our blood, and those have to be compatible....the blood type alone is not enough.  

Boquete Hospice & Health Foundation only serves the Boquete area.  We do not put out calls for blood for David or other   areas. Our resources are limited, as you say, so our service is only for our community.  Volcan is starting their own Hospice, and if someone there needs blood, that would be communicated in the notice, as there are donors who live there that have donated blood.    In the two years I have been doing this, I don't remember any blood calls for David.  Maybe this was true in the past..... (?).   Our donor lists keep getting shorter, as time goes on, as those over age 65 cannot donate unless the hospital is desperate.  So, until Panama starts a blood bank, yes, we must preserve our wonderful volunteers.  

I usually do not post private info unless asked by the family.  Of course the donors will get that info.  

A need is a need, no matter who....
