“As we speak now, there is no single pint of blood at the hospital blood bank. Anyone who will be brought to the hospital and will need blood urgently for survival will have to be saved by relatives and close friends,” he stated.
He explained that “the blood bank runs short of blood often whenever senior high schools — which constitute the main donor source for the hospital — vacate.”
Mr Mordzifa made the call during a blood donation exercise organised by Baamaiyi Sai Allah, a non-governmental organisation, to support the hospital to stock its blood bank.
Seventeen people donated blood at the end of the exercise.
A medical team from the hospital conducted the exercise.
