Among your New Year's resolutions, why not include donating blood?
The French Blood Establishment (EFS) invites everyone to donate blood to continue to meet the needs of patients. Blood donation, platelet donation, plasma donation: the level of collection must be regular to guarantee each patient the blood product they need.
As a reminder, 1,000 blood donations are needed every day in the Occitanie region to meet the needs of patients.
Donating blood is a gesture of solidarity that helps treat more than 1 million patients each year.
The French Blood Establishment recommends booking appointments online.
To make an appointment it's simple, just go to https://mon-rdv-dondesang.efs.sante.fr/ or call 0 800 972 100
Making an appointment allows you to plan your blood donation independently, and to optimize the time spent on this process.
Time slots are of course available to donors who come spontaneously without an appointment..
If you cannot attend the above collections, you can donate on the Auch site within the hospital grounds, car park n°1 Allée Marie CLARAC
Open every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. and every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
