On Tuesday, there will be a blood donation session in Gozo. The National Blood Transfusion Service said that the need for blood is universal. Anybody can need blood at any time. ”This is why we urge you to donate regularly if you can. The peace of mind for a patient whose world is falling apart and who needs blood has no price.”

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 also 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 3rd of March, 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.
