At the last blood donation campaign on 7 March 2023, 120 donors came along to give blood, of which 51 were first-timers. 95 donations were collected.
The Geneva blood barometer, which is regularly updated, shows that blood stocks continue to run extremely low. CERN will hold another blood donation session on Monday 17 July, from 8.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. in collaboration with the Hôpitaux universitaires de Genève (HUG).
Please note that, on this occasion, the campaign will take place in a new location, Building 29.
Before coming to the Building 29 donation point, please make sure that:
- you are in good health and have no symptoms such as fever, cough, a cold or breathing difficulties;
- you are eligible to give blood – please consult this information sheet and complete this questionnaire issued by the HUG (but note that only the pre-donation conversation with the nurse or doctor on the day can confirm your eligibility).
As a thank you, the HUG will be giving each donor a 10 CHF voucher, to be used in Novae’s Restaurants 1 and 2 at CERN.
We hope to see many of you at the donation point!
