Health Ministry officials led by Minister Joe Cassar donated blood as part of a ministry initiative through which it invited the public to donate blood.

Blood was donated by 51 people.

The minister said that around 55 bags of blood were used daily. This number rose substantially when people were grievously injured in accidents.

The minister encouraged all those who could donate blood to do so and if possible convince others to do the same.

The blood donation centre can be contacted on 2123 4767.
