Mobilization necessary for an adequate blood supply
The current trend observed cannot be maintained without possibly having an impact on blood reserves. Héma-Québec is thus launching an appeal to reach the number of donations needed.
Making an appointment is the preferred option to ensure good planning for receiving donors, especially in a pandemic context. Héma-Québec invites anyone to plan a donation now, by visiting the website at hema-quebec.qc.caor at 1 800 343-7264 (BLOOD).
People passing by a collection site or a donation center are invited to check the possibility of making a donation on site. Héma-Québec also asks anyone who has made an appointment and is unable to attend to remember to cancel it.
From many measures have been in place since the start of the pandemic to make blood donation a safe experience by protecting the donors, volunteers and employees who make this gift of life possible. It should be noted that the supply of blood products to hospitals remains normal. Héma-Québec is thus able to meet all needs.
