The week we are going through will be difficult for the blood sufficiency at the Blood Center, its Head, Androula Panagiotou, told KYPE, noting that many blood donors are now and this week on holidays in Cyprus and abroad.
"At the moment we are not in danger but this week is a bit difficult, we will need blood. Stocks will be few in the coming days because we don't have organized blood donations," he noted.
Call the people who can come and donate blood. The issue, he emphasized, is that every day we have to have around 300 bottles and this week things are difficult.
As for those returning from abroad, he clarified that they can come to donate blood if their stay was in countries that are not excluded for specific reasons.
"We have reserves and so do the hospital blood banks. But if we continue for two days and we don't have enough blood donors, then we will have a problem", added Mrs. Panagiotou.
