There is no doubt that the team of Christian Mermoud, the president of the association, will be able to organize the reception of blood donors during this meeting planned by the EFS (French Blood Establishment) and ensure preparation and distribution. of the snack associated with the event, which included yesterday afternoon, still 33 places available. The medical staff will not fail to ask the usual questions relating to the profile of the candidates: “aged 18 to 70 years, previous donation more than 8 weeks old, and negative test for HIV (AIDS) and other HBV or HCV ( hepatitis B or C)”. If one of the answers prevents becoming a donor or pursuing the vocation, candidates will be able to invest in the field without restriction by becoming a volunteer in the service of this cause. Blood donation allows all blood components to be collected at the same time, in just 10 minutes. They respond to the most common needs such as hemorrhage following accidents. Note the solidarity gesture associated with this collection: “Between December 16 and 29, for each blood donation made in Occitanie, the French Blood Establishment will pay €1 to the Enfants Cancer Santé association”.
