1000 fewer donors
After a 23% drop in recruitment last year, blood donation already shows nearly 1,000 fewer new donors in the first quarter of 2021. Due to health measures, some event-driven collections, such as those from companies or in communities schools had to be postponed or canceled. These same, “which allow us to make ourselves known and recruit new donors”, explains the referring doctor in Yonne Véronique Droin-Robert.
11.8 days reserve
This is the number of days of blood bag reserve in Bourgogne Franche-Comté. “Normally, to be serene, we need 12 to 14 days of stock in front of us to face the daily need and the unexpected, explains the doctor. This week, we are at 11.8 days of reserve in the Burgundy region Franche-Comté. Which is very low. “
5 %
It is estimated that among the population that could donate blood, 5% of those who actually move to French blood establishments. A critical statistic as we approach a difficult time: A month of May with many holidays and therefore fewer days to collect.
