The CHPG has come up with an original idea to facilitate and encourage blood donation. Two weeks ago, AS Monaco members gave their blood to set the example. A Bloodmobile has been available to employees in the Principality for the past two days.
It’s a straightforward concept: Each employee can make an appointment to donate his or her blood. At the agreed time, the Bloodmobile picks the employee up at his/her workplace, takes him/her directly to the CHPG and brings him/her back, once the blood donation is done.
A -literally- valuable initiative given that the Principality is far from being self-sufficient. An estimated 5,000 bags of blood are needed annually, but only 2,000 donations are made each year. A shortfall that has a cost. According to the Observateur de Monaco, the Principality spends €700,000 a year to import 3,200 French bags.
