The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority:
The Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service (BTS) announced today (July 14) that the Tsuen Wan Blood Donor Centre of the BTS has been temporarily relocated to Shop 310, 3/F, Nina Tower, 8 Yeung Uk Road, Tsuen Wan (Exit D, Tsuen Wan West Station, West Rail), as its original location at 8 Tai Ho Road is being renovated. The service hours, from 11am to 7pm from Mondays to Saturdays and from 1pm to 8pm on Sundays and public holidays, remain unchanged. The renovation works are due to complete in six months.
The temporary blood donor centre at Nina Tower is spacious and comfortable. It is hoped that blood donors will find the environment enjoyable. The BTS sincerely invites the public to give blood there and show their continuous support to the Tsuen Wan Blood Donor Centre. Donors giving blood there will be presented with a set of "Blood Donation Twin Clips" while stocks last.
For enquiries about the locations and the service hours of other blood donor centres, the public can call the BTS hotline on 2710 1234 or visit the website at www.ha.org.hk/rcbts.
