Under the name “blood donation now it’s urgent”, aiming to raise public awareness, the French blood establishment wishes to recall that blood supplies have dropped sharply. “It is essential that donors mobilize very quickly to raise the level of reserve” we believe within the French blood establishment. And to specify in the momentum that a collection is planned for Wednesday, June 1 from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Notre-Dame hall. And to remember that blood donation is important and that each donor can become a hero by offering life to patients waiting for blood products. The needs are daily, responding to emergency relief, from surgery to blood diseases and other cancers. A simple and generous gesture that only 4% of the population performs each year. The main conditions for donating blood: Be in good health, you must be between 18 and 70 years old, weigh more than 50 kg and not have been transfused. It is recommended not to come on an empty stomach and to drink well before and after the donation. Today, there is no treatment or synthetic drug capable of replacing human blood.
A few rules to follow:
In the following cases, donations must be deferred for: 7 days at the end of antibiotic treatment; 14 days after an infectious episode; 4 months after endoscopy, piercing or tattooing; 4 months after a trip to a country where malaria is rife.
