Blood donation drives in Val-de-Marne

Blood donation drives are being organized throughout November in the Val-de-Marne by the French Blood Establishment (EFS) to replenish reserves and meet hospital needs. These drives aim to ensure a steady supply of blood for patients requiring transfusions in emergencies or medical treatments.

Importance of blood donations

Blood donation is critical for patients in situations such as road accidents, surgeries, or cancer treatments. The EFS reports that 10,000 donations are needed daily in France, and approximately one million patients are treated annually due to voluntary blood donations.

Eligibility and availability

Blood donation is open to individuals aged 18 to 70 who are in good health and meet the EFS's medical criteria. Appointments can be made until the end of November, and the process is accessible through online registration or the "Don de sang" app.

Schedule of donation events

This Tuesday, November 3, blood drives are planned in Kremlin-Bicêtre from 12:00 to 17:00 and in Limeil-Brévannes. Another event will take place in Champigny-sur-Marne on Wednesday, November 4.

Continuation of donation events

The schedule continues with drives in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés on Friday, November 6, and in Fresnes on Monday, November 9. Additional events are planned in Joinville-le-Pont on November 16, Fontenay-sous-Bois on November 21, and Noiseau on November 22.

The last drives of the month will occur in Villejuif on November 25, followed by events in Nogent-sur-Marne on November 28 and in Kremlin-Bicêtre on November 30 from 12:00 to 17:00. The full schedule is available on the EFS website.
