At the start of the school year, everyone makes their New Year’s resolution. Why not become a hero? Because everyone has the power to save lives. All you have to do is reach out. The Meaux and region blood donation association invites you to join us on Monday, September 2 from 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., in the Altmann room, Place Michel-Houel.
The conditions for giving
So who can donate blood? Of course, you have to be in good health and weigh more than 50 kg.
“Your donation is a civic, supportive and free act that allows you to meet daily needs on a voluntary basis,” the association points out. “The more of you there are and the more regularly you give, the more we can help patients who need it together every day.”
Anticipate possible needs
And he continued: “The need for blood continues to increase. In addition, the summer holidays are a good time for long trips. It is therefore appropriate to anticipate possible additional needs in order to strengthen blood stocks and thus make it possible to treat more than a million patients each year.”
Volunteers must be between 18 and 70 years old (the eve of the 71st). It is necessary to have eaten and drunk.
You will need to bring ID and a pen.
Appointments can be made directly on the EFS website, then you will click on the “Collection mapping” section to enter your municipality, namely, here “Crécy-la-Chapelle”, in the “locate a donation location” box. And finally, using the elevator on the right of the screen, you will click on the time slot that interests you.
Please note that wearing a mask will be encouraged. A snack will be offered to donors.
“In advance, and in order to avoid you having to travel unnecessarily in the event of a recognised serious illness, you will have checked your eligibility to donate by clicking on ‘Can I donate blood?'”, advises the association.
