An urgent call for blood has been issued by the National Transfusion Service.

In its appeal, the service said all types of blood were needed.

The Blood Donation Centre, just outside St Luke’s Hospital in Gwardamanġa, is open daily from 8am to 6pm, weekends included.

Those donating blood are asked to take with them their ID card, driving licence or Maltese passport.

Donors were asked to also encourage others to donate.
