Blood drive on campus on November 19

We would remind you that the French Blood Service (EFS) will be running a blood drive on Friday November 19, from 12 noon to 5pm, in the CIS hall (building 15, floor -1).

During this COVID-19 period, the need for blood products is as great as ever, and ongoing efforts are vital.
Together, let's continue to save lives:  there is a daily need for 10,000 blood donations for emergency relief and surgery, and to treat hemorrhage during childbirth, blood disorders, cancer and other conditions. Giving blood is an irreplaceable voluntary and generous act, and today there is an urgent need for donation. The blood you give is used to treat people in need. Donating blood is a simple, quick and selfless act of kindness.

You can give blood if:
•    you are between 18 and 70 years of age,
•    you weigh at least 50kg.

Make sure you check whether you are eligible to give blood beforehand. Proof of ID is requested for first-time donors. We would recommend that you don't give blood on an empty stomach. The health pass is not required.

Thank you in advance for your generous donation, and a special thank you to the 84 donors (including 5 first-time donors) who gave blood in September.
