This Monday 16, Tuesday 17, and Wednesday 18 September, it is possible to donate blood at the Odette Courderc room opposite the fire station. The collection takes place from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Attendance at the Maisons du Don and mobile blood drives by blood donors is sharply decreasing. More than ever, it is very important to stay mobilized and donate blood regularly. To date, there is no product capable of replacing human blood. Donating blood is therefore essential to treat certain diseases. Each year, one million patients are treated thanks to blood donation, and each day, 10,000 blood donations are needed to meet the needs. From an administrative point of view, nothing very complicated! Only a few formalities need to be respected. For a first donation, you must present an identity document: national identity card, passport or residence permit. For regular donors, the donor card is accepted, as well as a transport card or a health card. It is also necessary to have a postal address in France to receive information or documents from the EFS, and to master the French language to understand the questions asked during the pre-donation interview and to be able to alert about an infection (or an oversight) after the donation. However, it is not mandatory to have a blood group card or a health record to be able to donate blood. However, if you have a donor card, you can bring it with you each time you donate.
Please make an appointment at 0 800 972 100 or on mon-rdv-dondesang.efs.sante.fr.
