Jeudi 14 novembre, de 9h à 12h et de 13h30 à 16h30, l’Établissement Français du Sang organise une collecte de sang dans la salle de réception de la Maison des Élèves.

Sauvez des vies, offrez votre sang.

D’avance, de la part de tous les malades qui vont bénéficier de votre générosité, merci.

On Thursday, November 14th, from 9.00 a.m. to 12.00 p.m. and from 1.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m., the French NHS Blood donation will organise a blood donation session in the MDE hall. We are counting on your mobilisation, in this time of cold weather and drop in donations of blood. Do not forget that there is no alternative capable to substitute blood.

• To be in good health,
• To be between 18 and 70 years old,
• To weight more than 50 kilos
