For several weeks, blood supplies have been in permanent tension due to a sharp drop in attendance at blood drives. The epidemic rebound of the fifth wave and the end-of-year celebrations did not make it possible to achieve the collection targets. This weekend, there were only 9.6 days of stock (5,800 pockets) against 15 days (9,000 pockets) expected. Even less this Monday according to the Dr Mohamed EL Rakaawi, Collection and Production Director of PSL, guest of Blue Circuit, Expert Side.
Without significant mobilization now and a significant increase in the state of stocks in the coming days, the risk is major for patient care. Find a collection near you by click here.
