Only 4% of the French population gives blood !
The French Blood Establishment (EFS) is asking donors to mobilize massively and come and donate their blood,
It is important that the mobilization continues. Patients still need transfusions. It’s essential !
Blood donation is a simple and generous gesture that only 4% of the population performs each year. Emergency aid, surgical operations, blood diseases, cancers… Blood product requirements are daily.
