From September 21 to 23, at the Balène room in Figeac, the French Blood Establishment (EFS) and the Figeac volunteer blood donor association organized a blood drive. This is how Anne-Cécile Vialle, sub-prefect of Figeac came to reception, by appointment, late Wednesday afternoon.
Once the administrative and medical formalities have been completed, installed in the chair for the blood test, the representative of the State indicated: “In the current health context, it is important to donate blood, the EFS has only nine days of reserves whereas the ideal would be fifteen days. I remind you that it is possible to donate blood after an injection of the vaccine against the Covid19, without any delay of postponement. The health pass is not necessary to give his blood. We are expecting many of you to share this power to save lives. Blood donation needs you for others. “
It is the same tone for Monique Larroque president of the association of voluntary blood donors of Figeac: “We had an information campaign during the exhibition fair, which seems to bear fruit, we are at a hundred donors per day. All the appointments have been honored and we are also pleased to see that one in three people show up without an appointment. We have very, very low stocks, we need to motivate the young people so that they take over. “
The next collections will take place from Tuesday December 7 to Thursday December 9 from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.
For this collection, favor making an appointment on the site mon-rdv-dondesang.efs.sante.fr/.
