Blood donation appeal warns contributions are below Jamaica's need
Jamaicans who are able to give blood are being encouraged to donate, as current contributions are reported to be only 40 to 50 per cent of the amount needed.
The appeal notes that donated blood can support a mother after delivery, a child living with sickle cell disease, or a patient who must undergo surgery.
Members of the public are being reminded that giving blood is described as a simple, safe process that does not take long, and eligible donors are being welcomed to come forward.
