Blood donors needed, supply running low

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Blood collection at the National Blood Centre (PDN) in the first week of Ramadan was less than 60% of the required 500 to 600 bags of blood to be collected by the centre, while the Puspanitapuri Blood Donation Suite in Putrajaya recorded only 32.8% collection.

This number is alarming because every 43 seconds, one bag of blood is needed to save a patient’s life.
