A total 280 people gave blood today in a donation drive organised by Xarabank in collaboration with TVM and the Blood Bank. More than half were first time donors.

Those taking part in the drive included EU Commissioner Tonio Borg and Health Minister Godfrey Farrugia, who turned up to donate blood at the Blood Donation Centre in Pieta.

Malta’s Eurovision winner Gianluca Bezzina, who is a medical doctor, assisted in the event.
