The National Blood Transfusion Service would like to thank the 26 people who donated blood last Tuesday in Gozo.

The Service is once again asking all Gozitans that are able, to please donate their blood during the next session on Sunday, the 25th of October. Donations can be made at the Blood Donation Centre in Xewkija, Gozo, between 8:00am 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.

Anyone currently waiting to take a Covid-19 test, or who has had the test and is waiting for the result, cannot give blood.

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.

“Blood donors are informed that no swabbing tests are carried out at any stage of the blood donation,” the Service said.
