The Ministry of Health issued an urgent appeal on Tuesday for blood donations, noting that blood and blood product reserves are currently at low levels, while demand remains high.
Reduced donor turnout, combined with increased patient needs for transfusions and blood products (red blood cells, plasma, platelets) for treatments, surgical procedures and emergency cases, is affecting blood availability, said the ministry.
The ministry calls on all eligible citizens in good health to visit blood donation centres across the country to help replenish reserves.
“The contribution of blood donors is vital to meeting current needs,” said the ministry.
