The last blood drive took place on Wednesday 3 March at the Palais des congrès. The organization set up by the Gruis’sang association to take into account the health constraints imposed by the pandemic has demonstrated its effectiveness.
Lionel Borne, president of the association, expresses his satisfaction : “ This fundraising took place in a very good atmosphere. 70 donors had made an appointment. Traffic remained very fluid thanks to the slots reserved for new donors and passing people. The very short waiting time resulted in the donor presence on the site lasting between 50 minutes and 1 hour maximum. “.
In the end, 86 donors gave their support to this humanitarian, united and essential cause which can be a vital need for some sick or injured people.
In addition to the 70 prior appointments, 16 donors presented themselves without an appointment, including 10 passing through or on vacation. Thus, the association was able to count 12 new donors, including 1 first donation.
With nine postponed donations, the final results of this collection are very good since it enabled 77 bags of blood to be validated.
Lionel Borne concludes : “ It is an organization to be perpetuated without any doubt. It allowed us to have a very good collection despite the reduction in its overall duration and the rigor of the sanitary instructions. “
The next collection will take place at the Palais des congrès on Wednesday 19 May, 15 h at 19 hours. Prior appointments can be made using the Blood Donation application, which can be downloaded from a smartphone or from the website. mon-rdv-dondesang.efs.sante.fr
It is essential to bring an identity document and a pen during the collection.
