(Canadian Press) —Héma-Québec is looking for more blood donations in June in anticipation of the summer season.
The organization, whose mission is to meet Quebec’s needs in blood donations, said that it needs an additional 100 donations each day more than the 1,000 donations that are normally necessary.
The gradual resumption of services in Quebec and the increase in demand for blood in hospitals make this call for more blood donors necessary, according to the organization.
Héma-Québec has changed its practices due to the COVID-19 pandemic and is now asking anyone who wishes to donate blood to make an appointment. (…)
