Disease free blood saves lives, so please consider donating blood to make a healthier world, the National Blood Transfusion Service has said.

With this in mind, the Service is inviting Gozitans to donate blood during a session this Sunday the 7th of June, at the Blood Donation Centre in Xewkija, Gozo, between 8:00pm and 1:00pm (last registration until 1:00pm).

The donation centre is located at the Xewkija Clinic, in Triq tall- Hamrija, between the Primary School and the Bocci Club.

The Service reminds everyone that it is important to always take your Identity Card, or Driving License or Maltese Passport and to drink plenty of water beforehand. Also, please encourage others to donate if possible.

The Service stressed that due to the Covid-19 situation all necessary measures are being taken to protect anyone who comes to donate blood, as well as the professionals who provide them with a service.
