Question 1403 — human blood and organs

Summary

Mr. Frédéric Barbier draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the French deficit in blood products. Each year in France, no less than two and a half million donations are necessary to meet the blood product needs of just under a million patients (i.e. 10,000 donations per day). As lifespan increases, the average age of transfused people also increases. Added to this are the flu epidemics like the one that recently affected France or the summer period, which are factors aggravating the lack of donations. Also, the French Blood Establishment (EFS) claims not to receive enough donations to fill its reserves. This situation could prove dramatic in the event of a new attack or other disaster. Also, he asks what means and actions the Government intends to implement works to strengthen citizen mobilization and respond to the problem of blood donation in France.
