Facing a decline in blood donations and hospital supply shortages, a blood drive is organized in Dourdan on Thursday, October 12.

Fewer blood donors are visiting Donation Centers and collection points across France, leading to supply difficulties for hospitals.
To address this need, a blood drive will take place on Thursday, October 12, in Dourdan. Individuals wishing to donate can register at: dondesang.efs.sante.fr/trouver-une-collecte.
Giving blood is a simple act with a significant impact. Each donation can save up to three lives. An hour of your time can offer a second chance to a sick or injured person, bringing hope to many families.
