The National Blood Transfusion Service has issued an urgent appeal for all blood types as its reserves have been depleted.

The high demand for blood was triggered by the number of accidents in recent days and an unexpected high number of blood transfusions.

Whoever is in good health can go to the blood donation centre in Guardamangia. All blood types are needed, especially O negative and A positive. More information on 2206 6201 or 2206 6209.
