The French Blood Establishment invites citizens to make a precious and useful gift by making an appointment for a blood donation in January to start the year off right!
The year 2020 was marked by an unprecedented pandemic, which once again demonstrated to us the spirit of solidarity of the French and in particular their commitment to donate blood, at a time when the reserves of blood products were dwindling due to the health crisis. It is important that the mobilization continues at the start of the year because patients always need transfusions.
In order to avoid waiting times and to welcome donors in the best possible sanitary conditions, blood drives take place by appointment. To register, even at the last minute: mon-rdv-dondesang.efs.sante.fr or on the app Blood donation. In addition, donors are requested not to come accompanied by a person who does not donate blood, to wear the mask that will be given to them at the reception, to respect the rules of distancing between donors and to respect barrier gestures.
