Public urged to donate blood to top up Sabah's blood banks


KOTA KINABALU: The public has been urged to donate blood as the blood banks in Sabah are running low because the number of donors has been reduced by 24% since the implementation of the movement control order (MCO).

Sabah Health Department director Datuk Dr Christina Rundi said this was also because almost all blood donation drives were cancelled during the MCO.
