This coming Sunday, there will be a blood donation session in Gozo. All groups are constantly needed and every drop donated counts, the National Blood Transfusion Service said.

However, there is also one more reason to donate blood this weekend…… On the 30th of November, anyone who donates blood at the the Berga Health Centre in Xewkija, Gozo, will receive a little thank-you gift from Casa Vostra in Victoria, a voucher for one free pizza from its menu.

Casa Vostra said that it is their way of saying thank you for doing something truly important. “We’re very proud to support this initiative with Blood Donation Malta – NBTS, because saving lives deserves gratitude – and pizza!”

The dates of donations in Gozo this week are Tuesday, the 25th of November – 1pm – 5pm and Sunday, the 30th of November – 8am – 1pm.

“Donors can help save three lives with just one donation.” The Service encouraged Gozitans to please keep attending donation sessions to help the patients in need get the necessary blood in a timely manner and to ensure a stable blood supply.

The NBTS advised that is has updated the donor eligibility guidelines removing restrictions on a number of medications. For more information on donor eligibility please call on 22066201 or 79307307 or on free phone 80074313.

The next session in Gozo will be Tuesday, the 25th of November, 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 water before your donation and have a light snack, not a heavy meal.

• Wear loose fitting clothes/sleeves.
