Appeal for Type A and O blood donation
**************************************

The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority:

     Consequent to the significant drop in blood donation during the long Easter holiday, the commencement of public examinations and the recent bad weather, the territory-wide blood inventory has dropped significantly during the past few days. The Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service (BTS) appeals to blood donors, in particular those who are in the Type A and O blood groups, to come forward to make donations. To ensure an adequate and stable blood supply for patient treatment, the BTS urgently needs 1,000 donations daily.

     For the location and service hours of blood donor centres, please call 2710 1234 or visit the BTS website at www.ha.org.hk/rcbts.

     Let's join hands to maintain adequate blood supply and save lives.
