Blood Groups A And B Stocks Running Low

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 9 (Bernama) -- Group A and B blood stocks at the National Blood Centre is running low and it is appealing for more non-Muslims to come forward to donate blood.
"Stocks for these two blood groups are down but the situation is not critical yet," a specialist at the centre told Bernama Monday.
"Nevertheless, we appeal to the public, especially the non-Muslims with these two blood types to donate blood to ensure that our stock is sufficient throughout this month," she added.
She said the low supply was due to low blood donation during the fasting month and high demand from hospitals for the two blood groups.
However, group AB and O stocks at the centre which supplies blood to hospitals in the Klang Valley has been unaffected by the fasting month.
