National transfusion service appeals for blood

The National Blood Trans-fusion Service (NBTS) yesterday said that it is in dire need of blood to satisfy the ever growing demand.

In a statement it said at this time of the year, the demand is high and the blood bank is short of all types, but particularly  O Negative and O Positive.

The statement said that the goal of the NBTS is for all the blood supplied here to be collected from voluntary, healthy donors.
