Blood donation in Corse-du-Sud

The association of volunteer blood donors of Porto-Vecchio works daily to promote blood donation in the Far South of Corsica region. Blood donation is vital for patients requiring transfusions during surgical operations, cancer treatments, or after serious accidents. By organizing this annual car boot sale, the association raises awareness among the local population and raises funds to finance its communication and new donor recruitment activities.

Blood collection is organized regularly in the region by the French Blood Establishment (EFS), in conjunction with local associations.
