There will be a blood donation session in Gozo on Tuesday, all blood types are currently needed.
Each blood donation made can help save three lives. The NBTS said less than 5% of the eligible population actually takes the time to donate blood – Just 3 out of 100 people. “In which percentage do you fall?”
The NBTS stressed that “your help is needed to ensure hospitals have an adequate blood stock for patients in need.”
The Service therefore continues to encourage Gozitans to please keep attending donation sessions to help the patients in need get the necessary blood in a timely manner.
The next session in Gozo will be, Tuesday, the 21st of April, from 1pm until 5pm, at the Xewkija Community Clinic.
“Your cooperation and generosity are greatly appreciated as always,” the Service said.
The centre is located at the Xewkija Community Clinic, in Triq tall- Hamrija, between the Primary School and the Bocci Club.
Important notes from the National Blood Transfusion Service
• Bring your Maltese ID Card, driving licence or passport.
• Drink some water before your donation .
