According to our site colleagues Actu.frthe Landes department is fully mobilized to collect blood during the month of November. This is a very important campaign for the EFS, the French Blood Establishment.
In anticipation of winter, an appeal was launched by the organization, commissioned by the State to supply the entire territory with blood products. Mobile collections will be deployed throughout the department in order to collect blood samples.
Many municipalities concerned
The population will thus be able to go to the municipalities of Mont-de-Marsan, Biscarrosse, Dax, Herm but also Tartas, Grenade-sur-l'Adour, Pouillon, Geaune, Saint-Pierre-du-Mont. Likewise, residents of Rion-des-Landes, Capbreton, Saint-Geours-de-Maremne and Montfort-en-Chalosse will be invited to go to the mobile teams and donate their blood.
Each year, these collections make it possible to transfuse patients, but also to intervene in the event of hemorrhage linked to childbirth or in the case of cancer requiring specific interventions. Blood drives also offer the opportunity to save lives during serious road accidents. Samples take 10 minutes on average. An operation not to be missed.
