Dare to donate blood, cells, tissues, and organs

As an ambassador for blood and organ donation, the University of Savoie Mont Blanc offers information to raise awareness about these acts of solidarity and responsibility that can save the lives of others.

donorganeBlood and stem cell donation

Donating blood or stem cells as a student or staff member is a caring and responsible gesture that can truly make a difference in the lives of others. Not only are you helping to potentially save lives by assisting patients in need of transfusions, but you are also participating in a free civic act that strengthens the sense of community. For students in particular, it is a unique opportunity to show your social commitment, feel useful, and find out your blood type for free. In addition, donation centers are generally very welcoming, offer a small snack after the donation, and you will always receive a medical certificate that can sometimes be useful for certain administrative procedures. A small amount of your time can literally save several lives, so don't hesitate!

Blood or bone marrow stem cell transplants cure life-threatening diseases. The donor must be compatible. If there is no donor in the family, the search must be conducted among volunteers in French and global registries, with an average chance of one in a million of finding a match.

We are looking for volunteers aged between 18 and 36 (preferably men).

ORGAN DONATION OF ORGANS AFTER DEATH: IT'S LIFE!

Talking about organ donation with your loved ones is not a morbid conversation, but an act of love and ultimate generosity. Imagine that your decision could give someone desperately waiting for a new heart, lungs, or kidneys a second chance at life. By discussing this topic openly and calmly with your family, you empower them to respect your wishes and turn a potential tragedy into a message of hope for others. Being a donor means offering the most beautiful gift of all: life!

Each organ donation can save up to eight different lives, allowing patients to reunite with their families, fulfill their dreams, and continue writing their stories. Don't wait—talk about it now, because this simple conversation can become an extraordinary gesture of human solidarity.

In France, transplants are available to anyone who needs one. But there are not enough organs.

Tell your loved ones if you want your organs to be transplanted after your death, if circumstances permit. You could save the lives of several people.
