This is the slogan chosen by the EFS to encourage Guadeloupeans to donate blood at the end of the year which will not have been very positive for the activity even though the needs were felt: only 457 donations were made. taken in November when 1000 are needed per month
•
In the current health context marked by low attendance of blood collections by citizens and posing a major risk for the care of patients given the low level observed today of blood reserves, for the French Blood Establishment Guadeloupe -Guyane, it is important that all Guadeloupeans understand the problematic which is theirs and which, in fact, is also theirs:
50 blood donations are needed every day of the year to meet the needs of patients. Whether it concerns people suffering from cancer, chronic diseases or even suffering from hemorrhages (childbirth, accidents, surgeries, etc.),
The level of collection from blood drives must therefore be regular and constant to ensure self-sufficiency because the shelf life of blood products is limited: 7 days for platelets, 42 days for red blood cells.
It is this requirement that prompts the EFS to do everything in its power to meet this challenge on a daily basis in order to treat each person awaiting a transfusion.
And in this year, the EFS has therefore decided to organize three event collections
–
They will therefore be added to the schedule of usual collections.
–
Guadeloupeans are therefore invited to become blood donors, donors who will make a gift of a new kind for these end-of-year celebrations.
a gift of inestimable value since it saves lives!
