While the national appeal for blood donation has enabled a rapid mobilization of blood donors and thus restore blood stocks, this health crisis has led to the abandonment of blood donation by part of the population.
The emergency campaign launched by the EFS aimed to collect 30,000 bags of blood to pass above the threshold of 100,000 bags of blood in stock. This objective has been achieved, but the question of donor loyalty remains unresolved.
While the population mobilized strongly during the confinement, the EFS notes that the deconfinement of this summer has led to a significant demobilization of the French with regard to blood donation. The EFS must therefore reconcile the French with blood donation.
Since the start of the crisis, the EFS has had great difficulty maintaining blood stocks, in particular because of teleworking, which has slowed down blood donations in businesses, and the closure of schools.
But while the opening of schools should have allowed the situation to be restored, the EFS nonetheless notes a constant drop in blood donations requiring emergency calls more and more regularly.
The constant mobilization of blood donors and the population is essential to meet all the blood transfusion needs of thousands of patients each year.
