MALACCA: People in the state are urged to donate blood more frequently to ensure sufficient supply of blood, particularly now, during the Ramadan fasting month.
State Health Committe chairman Low Chee Leong said currently, the Blood Bank of Malacca Hospital had 1,700 bags of blood.
"If the amount drops to 1,000 bags, the situation will be quite alarming," he told reporters after visiting a Ramadan Bazaar in Jalan Hang Tuah here yesterday.
He also urged the non-governmental organisations to participate in the blood donation campaign statewide. — Bernama
