An urgent call for blood, especially ‘O’ Positive has been issued by the Blood Bank.
It said the recent spate of accidents had brought reserves down to a critical level and unless blood was donated immediately, patients awaiting blood transfusions, including cancer patients, would have to wait longer for their treatment.
The Blood Donation Centre, just outside St Luke’s Hospital in Gwardamangia, will be open until 6pm today.
People who could not make it today can call tomorrow, a national holiday.
