According to him, blood is a major requirement for the survival of patients especially in emergency situations.

He noted with concern that some patients die because of lack of blood.

He recalled that only 39 people donated blood last time the exercise was carried out in July.

He said he is optimistic that more donors would come out this time, saying donating blood has no negative effect on the donors.
