Cyprus blood bank warns of critically low reserves
The Cyprus blood bank has appealed for more donors after daily demand for blood units exceeded Monday’s collections by more than three times.
Nicosia, Cyprus. Head of the Cyprus blood bank Androula Panayiotou warned that blood reserves are under pressure, with daily needs significantly exceeding the number of units collected on Monday.
Demand exceeds collections
Panayiotou said that 100 donors visited blood collection centres nationwide on Monday, while current demand stands at 350 blood units per day.
Appeal for donors
She said last week’s donor turnout had provided a small reserve to cover immediate needs. However, she called for increased donations in the coming days to prevent difficulties in meeting demand.
