Nursing technicians ensure safe care in the blood network of Pará
Professionals work in collection, screening, and outpatient care, and are fundamental to the safety and quality of assistance at Hemopa
Essential for the functioning of the public blood network of Pará, nursing technicians and assistants work directly in welcoming donors, blood collection, and assisting hematological patients throughout the Hemopa network.
This Tuesday (20), when the National Day of the category is celebrated, the recognition of the importance of these professionals stands out even more in light of the daily challenges faced in public health.
In practice, nurses are responsible for decisive stages of the transfusion journey: from clinical screening to safe collection to outpatient support for people with diseases such as sickle cell anemia, leukemias, and other chronic hematological conditions. They also integrate multidisciplinary teams and perform technical procedures that require precision, responsibility, and empathy.
Present in all fixed and mobile units of Hemopa, nursing contributes to transfusion safety, patient well-being, and the quality of care provided to the population. A silent and indispensable job to ensure that each bag of collected blood reaches those in need safely.
According to Sheila Lins, nursing technician at the Hemopa Foundation, "our work is essential in collection, but mainly in welcoming the donor. We receive people who leave home to do good, and it is essential that this gesture is received with empathy and preparation. A trained and attentive nursing technician makes all the difference in this process. We work with love and awareness that we are helping to save lives," she states.
Nursing technician José Castro reinforces the importance of technical training and acting in different stages of the transfusion process. "Nursing is a science focused on health care, and this is directly reflected in our work at Hemopa."
"We work to ensure quality in blood management, from donor screening to monitoring the administration of blood components to patients. Our goal is always to provide a safe and efficient service, directly contributing to saving lives."
The president of the Hemopa Foundation also highlights the essential role of nursing. "Nursing technicians and assistants are part of a chain of highly specialized professionals within our institution. They are the ones who welcome our donors and patients from the first contact, providing technical care with a humanized approach at all stages of the service."
Together with doctors, social workers, biomedical professionals, and other health professionals, nursing technicians and assistants uphold the Hemopa Foundation's commitment to a more accessible, safe, and humanized public health, focusing on the lives of those who need it most.
