two blood drives to counter the drop in donations

“For two weeks, blood donations have fallen sharply due to public holidays and a drop in attendance at collections impacted by deconfinement”, warns the French Blood Establishment in a press release, this 1is June. “On the national territory, it is a shortage of 2,000 donors every week. Thus, the reserves are 85,000 bags while 100,000 bags are necessary to have enough blood of each blood group in all hospitals. The objective is to quickly rise to 120,000 to cover the summer. “
