This time, we needed a real boost to ensure stocks.
Lack of blood, unfortunately, is not a new phenomenon. “The stock of blood products has been below the safety threshold, like every year, and has been for several daysnotes Sophie Rambeau-Octeau. 78,000 bags of red blood cells are currently in reserve in France, whereas 100,000 are needed. This figure would be the ideal stock for an autonomy of 12 or 14 days. There, it is difficult to see beyond 10 days. »
In Charente, the EFS does not fail to go into the field to collect as many products as possible: on average, between 60 and 70 pockets are sampled daily at 5 external sites located in the department. “This time, we needed a real boost to ensure stocks”, confesses the team. Then enters the scene the SA XV crowned with its victories and its reunion with the Pro D2.

“By hosting the EFS, we really hope to attract and harvest much more than the pockets we are already targeting.assure Antoine Roger. We provide more than 700 m² of premises, we distributed more than 6,500 leaflets. » To liven up the day, the violets call on their flagship players, Guillaume Laforgue in the lead.
For now, no contraindications: “By this gesture, everyone can become a caregiver for a dayinsists the EFS. Health pass and vaccination pass are not necessary but people who test positive for Covid-19 must wait days to donate blood. For the rest, you have to weigh more than 50 kilos and a short interview will verify that the donor does not risk his health in any way. »
