This collection, organized by the Lion's club and Rotary associated with the French Blood Establishment, takes place every two years in Bressuire. During the last edition, 295 donors showed up. “This year, we hope to do as well”confides Doctor Brigitte Martin, head of sample delivery at the Niort site of the French Blood Establishment (EFS). The organizers hope to even pass the 300 people mark, “we really count on the generosity of blood donors”. This 500 blood collection remains to this day the largest in Nord-Deux-Sèvres.
As a reminder, “Donating blood helps treat patients. If there were no blood donors, there would be no blood transfusion possible.”summarizes Brigitte Martin.
