From Monday to Wednesday, in three mornings, 153 blood donors went to the Bonnaïs space, in Caussade, in order to reach out to save lives, which made it possible to carry out 138 samples, including 9 from new ones. donors, including Florie, 18, who was donating blood for the first time, without apprehension. Given the holiday period and the health context linked to Covid-19, this mobilization remains below average. The Amicale for the voluntary blood donation in Quercy Caussadais, through the voice of its president Sébastien Fargal, thanks all the donors for their involvement and gives them an appointment for the next blood donation in Caussade which is scheduled for Wednesday, December 29 from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and Thursday, December 30 from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.
In practice
Anyone between the ages of 18 and 70, who weighs more than 50 kilos and who is recognized as fit following the pre-hearing interview, can donate blood. After 60 years, the first donation is subject to the assessment of a doctor from the French Blood Establishment. Men can donate up to six times a year and women up to four times. Between two blood donations, a minimum period of eight weeks must be observed. Finally, if some measures are final, you should know that 80% of postponements to donation are temporary. The candidate for the donation can therefore come forward again after having respected the postponement period.
