Sixty-one people with or without an appointment gave their blood on Thursday afternoon at the Saint-Bonnet-de-Joux village hall. Others were refused. Indeed, since January 1, 2023, to show solidarity, you must present your identity card. According to information provided by the French Blood Establishment, “this provision applies to the letter”. By registering, this new provision had been stipulated. For lack of being able to discharge this obligation certain people were refused. It would seem that there weren’t many of them. For Ms. Auduc of the Saint-Bonnet association: “We relayed the information, but unfortunately refusals were made. But after reflection, we can understand this obligation to give maximum security. A blood donation is an easy gesture but it remains a gesture that must be secured by maximum precautions to help the sick towards recovery in good conditions. The refusal of a donor, especially when he has been attending our collections for a long time, is always frustrating for everyone! this needs to be remedied with explanations and understanding”. For the association, “the results of this collection remain positive, with a new donor. A person who is not very young came spontaneously. There is therefore no scruple in coming and we must congratulate these people who mobilize at any time in their lives. We have also seen donors come from elsewhere. It is with pleasure that we welcome them”. The friendly makes an appointment for the next collection on Friday, May 19 in the afternoon.
