For several decades, the city of Compiègne, the French Blood Establishment (EFS) and the Association for voluntary blood donation of Compiègne and its region have worked together. Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at the very location of the blood collections, in the annex of the Compiègne town hall, an agreement sealed this partnership.
Dr Anne-Marie Manteau, deputy director of EFS Hauts-de-France, Jean-Marie Piet, president of the Association for voluntary blood donation and Sophie Schwarz, first deputy presented the new poster. This model, which will be present in merchants and in public places, includes a QR code which links to the EFS website with the days and times of collections as well as the possibility of making an appointment immediately. The poster will also find a place in the city buses which travel and connect the 22 municipalities of the Agglomeration of the Compiègne region (ARC).
