“I am very, very happy and very proud to be here […] blood donation is extremely important,” stated Jean-Emmanuel de Witt. He also added: “We have a very important social role to play and I believe it’s really necessary for all of us to bear in mind that if we have an accident, we’d be happy to hear that this shortfall didn’t exist.”
