Call for Blood Donations in Cyprus Due to Increased Needs

The Ministry of Health is appealing to volunteer blood donors to visit the nearest blood donation centers, as the need for blood remains high due to seasonal viruses that are reducing donor turnout. Many patients regularly need blood and blood products for treatments, surgeries and other medical needs. This appeal is made to ensure adequate blood stockpiles to meet patient needs. The Ministry of Health reminds the public that blood donation is an act of solidarity that can save lives. The announcement includes a list of blood donation centers in all provinces of Cyprus, as well as their opening hours and contact numbers. Those interested are encouraged to contact the nearest blood donation center to make an appointment or to find out about the blood donation requirements. The contribution of every volunteer is valuable and can make a difference for patients in need of blood. The Ministry of Health thanks volunteer blood donors for their contribution and encourages them to continue supporting the effort to ensure an adequate blood supply.
