There will be five opportunities to donate blood, in Gozo during May. Donating your blood is one of the best ways to show someone you care, because every drop counts.

The National Blood Transfusion Service is once again requesting Gozitans to please show their support to patients in hospital by making the time to donate.

The first donation date is today, Sunday, the 3rd of May.

The National Blood Transfusion Service also appealed for help to keep the blood supply stable by committing to becoming a regular donor.

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.
