WELCOME FROM THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE
The opportunity to receive such a numerous group of people characterized by their accredited personal qualities
always means a pleasant task.
For us, the fact that four different acts converge in our city in these few days: FIODS Executive Council meeting,
FEDSANG General Assembly, FUNDASPE Patronage meeting and, very especially, the International Colloquy on Blood
and Plasma donation makes us be fully aware that we have among us people who unquestionably symbolize the best
of human feelings.
Generosity, which is the first quality of you all, is also part of the nature of the people from León, and
we hope you can enjoy the warm welcome of this land and its multiple charms at the same time that the series of
programmed acts are developed to their maximum potential.
Welcome to León; we wish you an enjoyable stay and the accomplishment of all of your objectives, something
that, without a doubt, will benefit us all.
We thank the Honorary Committee members, the companies and institutions sponsoring the event, the Scientific Committee
and the speakers and lecturers for their special collaboration, which has made it possible for León 2001
International Conference on Blood and Plasma Donation to be a reality.
