The National Blood Transfusion Service would like to thank the 37 people who donated blood last Sunday in Gozo.
The Service, encouraged by this high number of donations, is urging more Gozitans to please follow their example and donate blood during the next session which is on Tuesday.
Donations can be made at the Centre in Xewkija, on Tuesday, the 26th of January from 1pm to 5pm (last registration until 5pm).
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.
