Blood Donation Still Exists
With the impact of COVID-19 on social gatherings, a number of blood drives were postponed or canceled this year, but the need for blood donation still exists.
The National Blood Transfusion Service in partnership with Junior Chamber International, Kingston hosted a blood drive on Saturday, December 19, 2020, at the National Chest Hospital.
Donors are being encouraged to give blood once every three months, as one unit of blood could save up to three lives.
Therefore, an adequate amount of blood supply is necessary in all health care facilities to meet the urgent need of patients.
Assistant Blood Donor Organizer at the National Blood Transfusion Services, Kishana Pinnock says there is a constant appeal to donors.
Earlier this year, there were reports of blood shortage at the blood bank, as many persons were said to be avoiding donation.
