The French Blood Establishment in France has issued an alert recalling the historically low level of blood reserves in France. The EFS Guadeloupe Guyane takes the opportunity to remind the population that the archipelago must find a sufficient level of stock to reduce imports of blood bags from France.
Please share this thread as widely as possible and talk #UrgenceDonDeSang around you. The lives of thousands of patients are at stake.

?? The level of blood reserves in France is historically low. A critical situation on the eve of departures on vacation, which could prove dangerous in the short term to treat patients.#UrgenceDonDeSang

Through this new alert, the EFS Guadeloupe-Guyane encourages all donors to a massive mobilization in the next 10 days by going to the various collection sites to donate their blood.
The mobilization of donors over the past ten days, as part of the campaign for World Blood Donor Day, has not been enough.
40 bags needed daily
EFS Guadeloupe Guyane must find a sufficient level of stock to reduce imports of blood bags from France.
Last week, the average number of bags of whole blood collected daily was 20, while 40 would be needed to meet the needs of patients in the Guadeloupe archipelago and the northern islands.
